Syllabus for Business Technology, Engineering and Media Communications

 

Course Title:  Exploring Technology

 

Length of Course:  Nine weeks.  Students will attend three separate classes, each three weeks in length, each covering one of the three specialty curriculum areas of Business Technology, Engineering and Media Communications.

 

Instructors: 

Business – Jerold Ash

Engineering –

Media – Lynette Rodriguez

 

Course Goal:  The goal of Exploring Technology is for students enrolled in STEM to experience each of the three specialty fields before making a final commitment to pursue one of the three.  Although many students have already decided which specialty to pursue, this course will allow them to be certain of their decision.

 

During the last three-week course, students will be asked to confirm their STEM specialty choice of Business, Engineering or Media Communications.  Franklin High counselors will make every effort to place students in the proper STEM classes for the remainder of this school year.

 

Each three-week course will consist of an overview of that particular STEM field of study, giving students a chance to experience a condensed curriculum based on course standards.  As in all of the regular STEM classes, completion of all assignments and proper conduct is expected in each of the three-week courses.  A separate grade will be given for each three-week course and these grades will be combined into a final grade for the nine weeks.

 

If you have any questions regarding the Exploring Technology course, please contact any of the teachers noted above.
