Advanced Design Applications (EbD)
This course consists of four units including Manufacturing, Energy and Power, Construction and Transportation. The Manufacturing unit examines the advances that maintain manufacturing efficiency, how human consumption affects manufacturing, how manufacturing affects the standard of living of various peoples, and how processing and changing raw materials can produce more desirable products. The Construction unit examines a number of factors influencing the design and construction of permanent and semi-permanent structures, the practices related to construction maintenance, alteration, and renovation and the functions of the primary systems installed in those structures. The Energy & Power unit explores the relationship between energy and power technologies and all other technologies, and how modern energy and power systems impact cultures, societies, and the environment. It also offers an examination of how energy and power systems can become more efficient and how they may be utilized in problem solving. The Transportation unit examines the complex networks of interconnected subsystems that comprise each transportation system, and the roles of these components in the overall functional process of the system. It also analyzes the improvements and the impacts of transportation technologies on the environment, society, and culture.
Note: Recommended to take Algebra II (or Advanced Algebra) and Trigonometry.

Advanced Technological Applications (EbD)
In this course, students study four components of the Designed World including Information Technology, Agriculture and Bio-related Technologies, Medical, and Entertainment/Recreation. The Information Technologies unit examines how technology facilitates the gathering, manipulation, storage, and transmission of data, and how this data can be used to create useful products. It also provides students with opportunities for developing communications systems that can solve technological problems. The Agriculture and Biotechnologies unit explores how agricultural technologies provide increased crop yields and allow adaptation to changing and harsh environments, enabling the growth of plants and animals for various uses. It also offers an analysis of the various uses of biotechnology and the ethical considerations of those uses. The Medical Technologies Unit provides an analysis of how medical technologies are used to increase the quality and length of human life, and how increased use of technology carries potential consequences which require public debate. Students also examine tools and devices used to repair and replace organs, prevent disease, and rehabilitate the human body. The Entertainment and Recreation unit provides a study of technological entertainment and recreation systems with an examination of the differences between these technologies, how their use enhances human leisure-time performance, and the social, cultural, and environmental implications of their usage.
Note: Recommended to take Pre-Calculus or Calculus.
