Engineering 1 (Engineering Principles and MESA)

ENGINEERING I 

Grades:9-11

Yearlong – 10 Credits

Engineering I is a high school level course that is appropriate for 10th grade students who are interested in engineering. This course is designed to provide an introduction and foundation in engineering principles for students. The major focus is to expose students to the engineering design process, engineering standards, research and analysis, technical documentation, career opportunities, communication methods, and teamwork. Engineering I gives students the opportunity to develop skills in critical thinking and problem solving while understanding course concepts through activity-, project-, and problem-based learning. Students are engaged in an instructional program that integrates academic and technical hands-on preparation and focuses on engineering technology and design through the use of robotics. Engineering I used in combination with a teaming approach, challenging students to continually hone their interpersonal skills, creative abilities and understand the engineering design process

The MESA acronym stands for Mathematics, Engineering, Science Achievement.  MESA enables students to prepare for and graduate from a four-year college or university with a math-based degree in areas such as engineering, the sciences, computer science and mathematics.  In this course, students will engage in projects that will challenge their ingenuity and creativity, and discover the mathematics behind their engineering creations.  Some objectives of this course include:

1) To develop complex problem-solving skills.

2) To understand the fundamentals of basic physics.

3) To prepare students for University-Level coursework.

ENGINEERING II

Grades: 10-12th

Yearlong – 10 credits

RobotEngineering II provides an in-depth understanding of engineering principles for students. The course offers the following components: classroom/laboratory and hands-on learning with academic and project-based instruction through advanced robotics. Through problems that engage and challenge, students explore a broad range of engineering topics, including mechanisms, the strength of structures and materials, and automation. Students develop skills in problem solving, research, and design while learning strategies for design process documentation, collaboration, presentation, and career opportunities.

The Val Verde Unified School District desires to provide a safe school environment that allows all students equal access to and opportunities in the district's academic, extracurricular, and other educational support programs, services, and activities. The Board prohibits, at any district school or school activity, unlawful discrimination, including discriminatory harassment, intimidation, and bullying, targeted at any student by anyone, based on the student's actual or perceived race, color, ancestry, nationality, national origin, immigration status, ethnic group identification, ethnicity, age, religion, marital status, pregnancy, parental status, physical or mental disability, medical condition, sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, gender expression, or genetic information, or association with a person or group with one or more of these actual or perceived characteristics. Unlawful discrimination, including discriminatory harassment, intimidation, or bullying, may result from physical, verbal, nonverbal, or written conduct based on any of the categories listed above. Unlawful discrimination also occurs when prohibited conduct is so severe, persistent, or pervasive that it affects a student's ability to participate in or benefit from an educational program or activity; creates an intimidating, threatening, hostile, or offensive educational environment; has the effect of substantially or unreasonably interfering with a student's academic performance; or otherwise adversely affects students educational. Unlawful discrimination also includes disparate treatment of students based on one of the categories above with respect to the provision of opportunities to participate in school programs or activities or the provision or receipt of educational benefits or services. The Board also prohibits any form of retaliation against any individual who reports or participates in the reporting of unlawful discrimination, files or participates in the filing of a complaint, or investigates or participates in the investigation of a complaint or report alleging unlawful discrimination. Retaliation complaints shall be investigated and resolved in the same manner as a discrimination complaint. Students who engage in unlawful discrimination, including discriminatory harassment, intimidation, retaliation, or bullying, in violation of law, Board policy, or administrative regulation shall be subject to appropriate consequence or discipline, which may include suspension or expulsion when the behavior is severe or pervasive as defined in Education Code 48900.4. Any employee who permits or engages in prohibited discrimination, including discriminatory harassment, intimidation, retaliation, or bullying, shall be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal. For inquiries or complaints related to discrimination, harassment, intimidation, or bullying of students based on actual or perceived protected characteristics, contact your school administrator, or: Diana M. Hernandez, Title IX Compliance and Resolution Officer (951) 940-6100, extension 10225 For inquiries or complaints related to employee-to-employee, student-to-employee, or work/employment-related discrimination, harassment, abusive conduct or intimidation, contact your school administrator or: Daniel Whitfield, Director of Risk Management (951) 940-6100, extension 10672
