ENGINEERING

PRINCIPLES OF ENGINEERING 
This course helps students understand the field of engineering/engineering technology and prepares them for postsecondary engineering programs by developing a more in-depth mastery of the required knowledge and skills in mathematics, science, and technology. Through problem-based learning strategies, students study key engineering topics, including mechanisms, energy sources, energy applications, machine control, fluid power, statics, material properties, material testing, statistics, and kinematics. Exploring various technology systems and manufacturing processes helps students learn how engineers and technicians use math, science and technology in an engineering problem-solving process to benefit people. The course also includes concerns about the social and political consequences of technological change.

DIGITAL ELECTRONICS 
This course teaches problem-solving skills using a design development process. Models of product solutions are created, analyzed and communicated using solid modeling computer design software.

HEALTH SCIENCE

ALLIED HEALTH ASSISTING 1 
The purpose of this course is to prepare students for employment as health aides, nurses aides, orderlies or health service aides. Content will emphasize knowledge of anatomy and physiology, medical terminology, and representative skills of health care workers.

ALLIED HEALTH ASSISTING 2 
This second-level course will emphasize the integration of scientific principles based on anatomy or physiology, attendant medical terminology, disease control, condition of illness and common therapy, and introduction to clinical learning experiences.

ALLIED HEALTH ASSISTING 3 
In this course students will perform skills representative of one to three areas of allied health care in the laboratory and clinical settings. Major areas of allied health are defined as physical therapy, emergency, radiation, laboratory and respiratory medicine, and occupational therapy. Other areas of health, medicine, dentistry, or veterinary may be included with instructor provided competencies.
