ANATOMY
Two semesters, 1 credit
Pre-requisites: Biology, Chemistry, Physics I
Option for required 4th science credit
Additional requirement: Recommendation of previous science teacher
This course explores the major underlying principles of anatomy and physiology
of the human body. Topics include the structure of the body: cells, tissues,
organs, systems, and function of these structures. This course also explores
disease, health issues, and reproduction. Students receive training and
certification in CPR. Emphasis is placed on laboratory work, observation, and
analysis of animal anatomy as it correlates to human anatomy. Dissection of a
cat is required.

Two semesters, 1 credit
Pre-requisites: Biology, Chemistry, Physics I
Option for required 4th science credit
Additional requirements: Recommendation of Physics I teacher
Student should have fluent, advanced math skills or concurrent enrollment
in Pre-Calculus
Physics II continues the Physics I course with exploration of topics in electricity,
magnetics, light, and 20th Century Physics. Applications in Astronomy,
Engineering, and other related areas are studied, and problem solving and
critical thinking skills are further developed and emphasized throughout this
course.
ENGINEERING DESIGN AND PROBLEM-SOLVING
Two semesters, 1 credit
Pre-requisites: Biology, Chemistry, Physics I
Option for required 4th science credit
Additional requirements: Science teacher and administrative
recommendations
Students are introduced to the fundamentals of the engineering process
through a variety of project-based learning experiences in several of the
engineering sub-disciplines (civil, mechanical, electrical/electronic, and
computer engineering). Students identify solutions to problems and implement
solutions based on the use of engineering design techniques. Disciplined
problem-analysis and problem-solving techniques are a key requirement.
Use of mathematical modeling, computational resources, and data analysis
are required.
