Practical techniques for proper and safe use of basic hand and machine tools are introduced. Techniques for connecting various types of circuits are also covered. The process of fabricating printed circuit boards is presented. Students learn applied digital logic that encompasses the design and application of electronic circuits and devices found in video games, watches, calculators, digital cameras, and thousands of other devices. The capstone provides the opportunity for students to continue with foundational electronic concepts including circuit analysis and digital electronics modules. This course incorporates classroom, laboratory, and work-based experiences in the fundamental electronics concepts of circuit analysis and digital electronics as well as optional modules focused on industrial technology, emerging electronic technologies, residential and commercial electronic communication, and automation.

Students investigate emerging disciplines within the field of computer science in the areas of data science, artificial intelligence, app/game development, and security. Students explore the fundamental concepts of procedural programming. In the capstone, students gain a working understanding of the fundamentals of procedural and object-oriented program development using structured, modular concepts and modern object-oriented programming languages. Reviews control structures, functions, data types, variables, arrays, and data file access methods. The course is a second level computer science course introducing object oriented computer programming, using a language such as Java or C++. Object-oriented concepts studied include classes, objects, inheritance, polymorphism, operator overloading, exception handling, recursion, abstract data types, streams and file I/O. Students will explore programming concepts such as software reuse, data abstraction and event-driven programming.

Students focus on the process of applying engineering, technological, scientific and mathematical principles in the design, production, and operation of products, structures, and systems. Students can choose from three Concentrator B courses: Civil Engineering and Architecture, Digital Electronics, and Computer Integrated Manufacturing. In the capstone, students work in teams to research, design, test, and construct a solution to an open-ended engineering problem. The product 66 development life cycle and a design process are used to guide the team to reach a solution to the problem. The team and/or individual(s)communicates their solution to a panel of stakeholders at the conclusion of the course.
