Students must meet TSI requirements identified by the Alamo Colleges prior to enrollment in dual credit courses. Advanced Placement courses are available to prepare students for rigorous college coursework. All students will participate in UIL, student leadership and service opportunities while in high school.
Principles of Applied
Engineering / Provides an overview of science, technology, engineering and mathematics and their interrelationships. Students develop engineering communication skills, including computer graphics, modeling, and presentations by using a variety of computer hardware and software applications to complete assignments and projects. Upon completing this course, students understand the various fields of engineering and make informed career/college decisions. Students work on a design team to develop a product or system and use multiple software applications to prepare and present course assignments.
Principles of
Biosciences / Principles of Biosciences is a strong reinforcement of Biology content that provides an overview of biotechnology, bioengineering, and related fields. Topics include genetics, cell structure, proteins, nucleic acids, and the impact of immunological events in biotechnology. Students study the increasingly important agricultural, environmental, economic, and political roles of bioenergy and biological remediation; the roles of nanoscience and nanotechnology in biotechnology medical research; and future trends in biological science and biotechnology.
Engineering Design & Presentation I / Engineering Design and Presentation I is a continuation of knowledge and skills learned in Principles of Applied Engineering. Students demonstrate knowledge and skills of the design process as it applies to engineering fields using multiple software applications and tools necessary to produce and present working drawings, solid model renderings, and prototypes. Students use a variety of computer hardware and software applications to complete assignments and projects. Through implementation of the design process, students transfer advanced academic skills to component designs.
Engineering Design & Presentation II DC / Engineering Design and Presentation II is a continuation of knowledge and skills learned in Engineering Design and Presentation I. Students demonstrate knowledge and skills of the design process as it applies to engineering fields using multiple software applications and tools necessary to produce and present working drawings, solid model renderings and prototypes. Students use a variety of computer hardware and software applications to complete assignments and projects. Through implementation of the design process, students transfer advanced academic skills to component designs. Emphasis is placed on using skills to move projects from ideation through prototyping.
Robotics I / In Robotics I, students apply academic skills to component designs in a project-based environment through implementation of the design process. Students build prototypes or use simulation software to test their designs. Additionally, students explore career opportunities, employer expectations, and educational needs in the robotic and automation industry. Students must pass the safety test with 100% mastery.
Robotics II / In Robotics II, students expand their knowledge and skills from Robotics I and explore artificial intelligence and programming in the robotic and automation industry. Through implementation of the design process, students apply academic skills to component designs in a project-based environment. Students build prototypes and use software to test their designs.
Scientific Research & Design / Scientific Research and Design is a problem-based, independent study course that allows students to focus on activities that extend and apply knowledge and skills in Engineering. Activities include problem identification, investigation design, data analysis, formulation and presentation of conclusions in a classroom, lab or clinical setting.
Biotechnology I / In Biotechnology I, students apply advanced academic knowledge and skills to the emerging fields of biotechnology such as agriculture, medical, regulatory, and forensics. Students use sophisticated laboratory equipment, perform statistical analysis, and practice quality-control techniques. Students conduct laboratory and field investigations, use scientific methods during investigations, and make informed decisions using critical thinking and scientific problem solving. Students study a variety of topics that include structures and functions of cells, nucleic acids, proteins, and genetics.
Engineering Mathematics / Students solve and model robotic design problems. Students use a variety of mathematical methods and models to represent and analyze problems involving data acquisition, spatial applications, electrical measurement, manufacturing processes, materials engineering, mechanical drives, pneumatics, process control systems, quality control, and robotics with computer programming.
