Architecture 643
Grades: 10-12 5.0 Cr YEAR
Prerequisite: engineering drawing or computer graphics
This course introduces students to design and drafting problems involving residential buildings. The course includes the study of the basic fundamental of design, and the skills related to the production of architectural designs. Students will study the design of interior and exterior elements of structures in both tow-dimensional and three-dimensional representations. A complete set of plans for a dream house will be drawn including floor plans, elevations, and detail drawings.
Advanced Architecture 644
Grades: 11-12 5.0 Cr YEAR
Prerequisite: architecture
This course is a study of the basic elements of form, space, and order in architecture. Through a series of practical problems students will prepare presentations of both two-dimensional and three-dimensional designs created using AutoCAD AEC as well as other technologies. Students will use the Internet as one of many tools in researching their project designs.
Computer Graphics 619a
Grades: 9-12 5.0 Cr YEAR
Prerequisite: none
This course will introduce students to illustration and 3D modeling using their computer. AutoCAD 3D modeling and Adobe Illustrator software will be used to produce and edit graphic images.

Introduction to Computer Networking 646 s1, 646A s2
Grades: 9-10 2.5 Cr sem
Prerequisite: none
This course is designed for students who think they may be interested in computer networking. Students who have taken or are currently enrolled in Cisco Academy I or II may not take this course. This course introduces students to computer networking. Students will study networking topologies, study the OSI and TCP/IP reference models of computer networking, learn the basics of using a cable tester, learn to create cables, and be introduced to various networking equipment – switches, routers, hubs – and will have some “hands-on experience” building a two router lab. This course is designed as a prerequisite for students thinking of enrolling in Cisco 34 Academy. It is highly recommended that students take this course before enrolling in the Cisco Networking Academy Program.
Cisco Networking Academy I 632a
Grades: 9-12 5.0 Cr YEAR
Prerequisite: NONE
The Cisco Networking Academy I course will teach students to design, build, and maintain computer networks. The Networking Academy is an E-Learning model that delivers the curriculum via the Internet. The seven layers of the OSI model will be covered with an emphasis on computer networking fundamentals, switching, and routing technologies. A 5 router lab network will be built and maintained as part of the class. Students will also learn how to build and test CAT-5 cables and explore the inner workings of a computer. The course features online testing, student performance tracking, hands-on labs, and web-based (E-Sims) E-Labs.
Cisco Networking Academy II 633A
Grades: 10-12 5.0 Cr YEAR
Prerequisite: cisco i
The Cisco Networking Academy II course will build on the foundation developed in the Cisco Networking I course. Topics covered include Local Area Networks (LANs) design, Switching, Virtual LANs, Access Control Lists (ACLS), Wide Area Networks (WANs), Frame Relay, and ISDN. Students will also gain critical hands-on experience by working with class members to network a fictional school district through the Threaded Case Study or Washington Project. The Networking Academy is an E-Learning model that delivers the curriculum via the Internet. The course features online testing, student performance tracking, hands-on labs, and web-based E-Labs. Upon completion of this class, students will have the knowledge to take the Cisco Certified Networking Associate (CCNA) Exam, and Industry Standard Networking Professional Exam. Students
who complete both Cisco I & II with a 70% or better final exam scores will receive vouchers to reduce the cost of the CCNA Exam.
Cisco III 634a
Grades: 11-12 2.5 Cr SEm
Prerequisite: cisco I and cisco II
Cisco III is for students who have successfully completed Cisco Academy I and II. The purpose of the course is to prepare students for CCNA Exam (Cisco Certified Network Exam). Students will have hands-on experience with networking equipment, review networking concepts, use E-Simulation labs, and review material that will be covered for CCNA Exam. Students will have access to Cisco Library. Students will learn working knowledge of networking equipment – routers, switches, hubs, etc. During the course of the semester, students will be enrolled to take the CCNA Exam prior to the end of the semester.
Web page design 635A
Grades: 10-12 2.5 Cr YEAR
Prerequisite: NONE
This course will teach students how to create Web Pages and manage them. Students will learn how to create Web Pages using Microsoft FrontPage 2002. Students will be exposed to common Web Page formats and functions. This class will encourage curiosity and independent exploration of the World Wide Web’s resources. Students will develop an exercise-oriented approach that allows them to learn by example.
