Computer Science and Engineering-

Pathway Description

CSE is a project-based course designed to instruct students through activities that require modeling, physical design, and coding, leading them to discover how computing and engineering work together to solve problems. This course offers students exposure to the engineering design process which introduces them to problem solving and critical thinking as well as the basics of project management and teamwork. This knowledge will assist them in making informed and meaningful decisions about high school coursework and broaden their horizons for career opportunities.

 

This course was combined with the STEM Applications course in 2021 to create a single course that would provide an opportunity for students to learn how computer science and engineering are connected. The competencies and objectives allow students to become familiar with two different areas of the science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) occupations cluster giving them insight into numerous career fields.
