1 Hays CISD Career and Technical Education Course Guide

2 Career and Technical Education Career and Technology Education courses are designed to provide students with the skills needed to enter today s workforce. We provide students with rigorous and relevant instruction to help them succeed in our high-demand, high-skilled working environment of the 21st century. Students apply academic skills along with their technical skills in the CTE classroom. Career and Technology Education can provide students with a chance to explore various career options and provide them with enhanced earning potential while continuing their education. Many Hays CISD courses are articulated with Austin Community College which means students can earn college credit while in high school at no cost to them. Our challenge is to stay relevant and current in our ever changing society. CTE Goals Make teaching and learning relevant, hands-on and exciting for students. CTE courses integrate academics in rigorous, relevant and exciting ways. Base CTE curriculum on current industry standards. Provide opportunities for students to earn state and national industry standard certifications and licensure. Each program area will provide students with the opportunity to earn college credits through local or state agreements. Provide students with skills to gain entry-level employment in a high-skill, high-wage job and/or to continue their education.

The primary focus of Digital Electronics is to expose students to the design process of combinational and sequential logic design, teamwork, communication methods, engineering standards, and technical documentation. This course counts as a math credit for graduation. Engineering, Design, and Development TM (EDD) Course Number: CO20.1Y Grade Placement: Prerequisite: IED, Engineering Science, Geometry, Algebra II, Chemistry, Physics and CEA, CIM or DE PEIMS#: N Engineering, Design, and Development is the Project Lead The Way capstone course. EDD is an engineering research course in which students work to research, design and construct a solution to an open-ended engineering problem. Students apply principles developed in the four preceding courses. They must present progress reports, submit a final written report and defend their solutions to a panel of outside reviewers at the end of the school year. Practicum in STEM Course Number: CO11.2Y Prerequisite: Algebra I and Geometry.
