Summary:
|
The District's Educational Services Department has made recommendations for updates in our district-wide course catalog. At this time we are submitting four (4) revised Career Technical Education (CTE) courses in the RCOE Public Services Sector: RCOE Law Enforcement Principles & Practices, RCOE Forensics & Crime Scene Investigation, RCOE Exploring the US Criminal Justice System, and RCOE Emergency Medical Technician. All four (4) of these courses meet the UC/CSU A-G Requirement “G”.
RCOE Systems Programming 01 is the combination of electrical and mechanical engineering where students design, build and program robotic mechanisms. Students will apply C++ and Python coding to direct micro-controller parts. The class focuses on academic, technical skills, and employability practices. Students will develop personal and professional skills in the classroom that will transfer to the workplace. Such technologies include robotics, micro-controllers, microprocessors, computer hardware, programming languages, 3D Modeling, mobile applications, and Unmanned Aerial Systems. Students will learn the basics of each technology group and will learn how to build, program, and use these technologies in new and exciting careers. Additional course topics include computer-based careers and trends, electronic computing issues, terminology, electronic communication skills, ethics, security, and etiquette in today's business computing environment. Technology Fundamentals will provide students with computer knowledge and skills to increase their productivity, which will give them a competitive advantage in the job market. After completion of this course, students can then move on to the second year of the Pathway, Technology, and Industrial Automation. This is the Concentrator course in the Software and Systems Development - Systems Programming Pathway.
RCOE Systems Programming 02 is designed to provide students with a sound foundation in Automation Processing incorporating Electronics, Robotics and UAS Technology that exist in society today and the very near future. Technology and Industrial Automation will emphasize the basic skills utilized in identifying the concepts of automated machines and equipment and describe the terms and phrases associated with industrial automation. The student will perform preventative maintenance, identify and solve problems with machines, and other technologies. Students will demonstrate competency in the automation of simple processes in the workforce and conceive, design, and prototype solutions. Using the engineering design team concept as a model, students will work in small groups to research, design, program, and construct robotic devices used in competition, including NASA'S U.S. FIRST. Materials used in this course will consist of, but not limited to LEGO Mindstorm EV3 Robots, BOE-Bot Robots, Unmanned Aerial Systems (Drones and Quadcopters), Pitsco Technic Robotics Kits, and LynxMotion Robotic Arms. Upon completion of this course, students will have the knowledge to qualify for the following certificates: UAS Pilot's License and Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy. This course will increase the student's ability to succeed in postsecondary education and training through well-developed research and analytical skills. This is the Capstone course for the Software and Systems Development - Systems Programming Pathway.
The above courses have been approved by the Director of Curriculum and Instruction and the Assistant Superintendent of Educational Services.
