Principles of Biomedical Science

PBIOSA/B

Grade 9-12, 1 credit, Honors weighted GPA Determine what led to the death of a fictional person, and investigate lifestyle choices and medical treatments that might have prolonged their life. Through activities and projects you explore human physiology, medicine, research processes and bioinformatics. You will learn about homeostasis, metabolism, inheritance of traits, and defense against diseases.

Human Body Systems

HUMANA/B

Grades 10-12, 1 credit, Honors weighted GPA Students examine the interactions of human body systems as they explore identity, power, movement, protection, and homeostasis in the body. Exploring science in action, students build organs and tissues on a skeletal system; use data acquisition software to monitor body functions such as muscle movement, reflex and voluntary action, and respiration; and take on the roles of biomedical professionals to solve real-world medical cases. Recommended prerequisite: Principles of Biomedical Science

Medical Interventions

MEDINA/B

Grades 11-12, 1 credit, Honors weighted GPA Students investigate the variety of interventions involved in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disease as they follow the lives of a fictitious family. Through these scenarios, students will be exposed to a wide range of interventions related to immunology, surgery, genetics, pharmacology, medical devices and diagnostics. Recommended prerequisite: Human Body Systems

Engineering

Introduction to Engineering Design

IEDPLA/B

Grade 9-12, 1 credit, On-Level weighted GPA This course is an overview of the various fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics and their interrelationships. Students will develop engineering communication skills, which include computer graphics, modeling, and presentations, by using a variety of computer hardware and software applications to complete assignments and projects. Upon completing this course, students will have an understanding of the various fields of engineering and will be able to make informed career decisions. Students will work on a design team to develop a product or system. Multiple software applications will be used to prepare and present course assignments. Prerequisite: None

Engineering Science

PRENGA/B
