TERMS AND DEFINITIONS

Understanding Common Terms in Career and Technical Education (CTE)

CTE

Career and technical education programs offer a sequence of courses that provides students with coherent and rigorous content. CTE content is aligned with challenging academic standards and relevant technical knowledge and skills needed to prepare for further education and careers in current or emerging professions.

Program of Study

Perkins V describes a program of study as a coordinated, non duplicative sequence of academic and technical content at the secondary and postsecondary level that:

● Incorporates challenging state academic standards

● Addresses academic, technical, and employability skills

● Aligns with the needs of industries in the state, regional, and/or local economy

● Progresses in specificity, beginning with all aspects of industry and leading to more occupation

● Specific instruction

● Has multiple entry and exit points that incorporate credentialing

● Culminates in the attainment of a recognized postsecondary credential

Endorsement

Endorsements consist of a related series of courses that are grouped together by interest or skill set. They provide students with in-depth knowledge of a subject area. Students must select an endorsement* in the ninth grade. Students earn an endorsement by completing the curriculum requirements for the endorsement, including 4th credit of math and science and 2 additional elective credits.

IBC

An industry-based certification (IBC) is a specific type of credential that validates that an individual possesses certain industry specific skills related to a career cluster or occupation and is measured against a set of accepted industry standards. TEA adopted by rule (19 TAC 74.1003) a set of requirements and process to formally approve industry-based certifications. This is a high-level summary of those requirements:

1. Defined as a certification – not just a certificate of course completion, but demonstration that skills were obtained and valid for a specific period of time (e.g., not the driver education course, but the drivers’ license exam)

2. Industry recognized and valued – employer surveys indicate the certification is given significant consideration for hiring and wages

3. Attainable by a high school student – a 17 or 18 year old could reasonably earn it by graduation

4. Portable – regionally, to multiple employers, or to more advanced postsecondary or apprentice work

5. Certifying Entity – certifications are issued independent of course completion to validate skills (e.g., DPS as the entity that validates passage of the drivers license exams)

Intermediate Computer-Aided Design and Drafting (CADD), focuses on the fundamentals of computer-aided drafting using various drafting programs. Emphasis is placed on drawing set up; creating and modifying geometry; storing and retrieving predefined shapes; placing, rotating, and scaling objects; adding text and dimensions; using layers and coordinating systems; and using input and output devices.

In Robotics I, students will transfer academic skills to component designs in a project- based environment through implementation of the design process. Students will build prototypes or use simulation software to test their designs. Additionally, students will explore career opportunities, employer expectations, and educational needs in the robotic and automation industry.

PLTW Computer Integrated Manufacturing is one of the specialization courses in the PLTW Engineering program. The course deepens the skills and knowledge of an engineering student within the context of efficiently creating the products around us. Students build upon their Computer Aided Design (CAD) experience through the use of Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) software. CAM transforms a digital design into a program that a Computer Numerical Controlled (CNC) mill uses to transform a block of raw material into a product designed by a student. Students learn and apply concepts related to integrating robotic systems such as Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV) and robotic arms into manufacturing systems. Throughout the course students learn about manufacturing processes and systems. This course culminates with a capstone project where students design, build, program, and present a manufacturing system model capable of creating a product.

Engineering Design and Development (EDD) is an open-ended engineering research course in which students work in teams to design and develop an original solution to a well-defined and justified open-ended problem by applying an engineering design process using the knowledge and skills they developed in previous courses. EDD is appropriate for 11th and 12thgrade students. Students will perform research to select, define, and justify a problem. After carefully defining the design requirements and creating multiple solution approaches, teams of students select an approach, create, and test their solution prototype. Student teams will present and defend their original solution to an outside panel. This course prepares students for college, a career, or the military by helping them become better problem-solvers. Students learn how to manage projects and further develop their transferable skills, such as communication and ethical reasoning.

In Robotics II, students will explore artificial intelligence and programming in the robotic and automation industry. Through implementation of the design process, students will transfer academic skills to component designs in a project-based environment. Students will build prototypes and use software to test their designs.

Practicum in STEM is designed to give students supervised practical application of previously studied knowledge and skills.
