Some things to consider: Engineering Program‐ PLTW A sequence of courses which combined with college preparatory math and science, introduces students to engineering and engineering technology before going to college.
Start with Intro to Engineering Design Should be in Geometry or Algebra 1 ACC.
How do I choose classes? Course selection day within your teams. Course selection sheets
Sign up for 7 classes (7 classes + 1 lunch = 8 periods) Add alternate elective classes Study hall?
Teachers will make recommendations for CCP vs. ACC Recommendations based on grades and work ethic
Word of advice: Get required electives done early! Will free up space for more variety of classes in 11th & 12thgrade!
