AP PHYSICS C: MECHANICS – AP
11/12 1 AP Physics C: Mechanics is equivalent to a one-semester, calculus-based, college-level physics course. Introductory differential and integral calculus is used throughout the course. It is appropriate for students planning to major in physical science or engineering. This course explores kinematics; Newton’s laws of motion; work, energy and power; linear momentum; circular motion and rotation; oscillations; and gravitation. This course includes a laboratory component comparable to a semester-long introductory college-level physics laboratory. More than 20% of a student’s instructional time is engaged in hands-on laboratory work. Each student will complete a portfolio which will document their lab investigations for the year. Note: Can be taken concurrently enrolled in AP Calculus. Prerequisite: • Recommendation of the department •
90% in Pre-Calculus, Calculus Honors, AP Calculus AB, or AP Calculus BC
INTRODUCTION TO 3D MODELING – CPX 9/10/11/12 .5 This introductory course is designed for students to explore the fundamental concepts, principles, and practice of 3D modeling. Students will learn how to design and print 3D models. ENGINEERING FOUNDATIONS – CPX 11/12 1 The purpose of the course is expose students to the engineering field. Engineering can be defined as a process that seeks to improve the quality of life through innovative solutions to real world problems recognizing ethical and societal influences. Engineering uses all knowledge, especially math and science. Engineering is a team-based practice where multiple, alternate solutions are identified under given constraints. When solutions fail, we learn from the failure. The process is repeated to refine and communicate the “best” solution. Students will receive instruction on the engineering design process in a project based environment. This class is combined with Introduction to Engineering Honors. Prerequisite: Completion of Chemistry CPX or Chemistry Honors ENGINEERING FOUNDATIONS – HON 11/12 1 The purpose of the course is expose students to the engineering field.

When solutions fail, we learn from the failure. The process is repeated to refine and communicate the “best” solution. Students will receive instruction on the engineering design process in a project based environment. The family must pursue College Credit Plus enrollment per state guidelines. This class is combined with the Engineering Foundations (CPX) class, and students receiving honors credit but not enrolled in College Credit Plus will be responsible for completing the JETS problems each semester. Prerequisite: 80% in Chemistry CPX or Chemistry Honors
