ACADEMY OF MULTIMEDIA PROGRAMMING AND ENGINEERING

Multimedia 1 (MD1) Students learn: Adobe Suite, iLife, and Computer Programming

This one-year course is an integration of

communication skills and artistic proficiencies using

contemporary media arts as a focus. Students will

create logos, webpages, animation, photo galleries,

and video. This integrated curriculum forms a solid

groundwork from which students may build upon in

Multimedia Contemporary Design 2.

Visual Imagery / Photgraphy Students learn: Digital and conventional darkroom

This course is an integration of communication skills

and artistic proficiencies using photography as a

focus. Emphasis is placed on creative, expository,

and instructional writing using comprehensive

photographic and design concepts. Students learn

color management, graphic design and/or selection

of typography, texture, and layout design. This

course covers production techniques, aesthetics in

Photography and develops production skills through

hands-on experience with cameras, studio lighting,

film, imaging software. This course explores the uses

of photography in the humanities, emphasizing

commercial and documentary photography and

therir social and historical significance.

Digital Media / Graphic DesignStudents learn: Advance Photoshop & Illustrator, visual communication, and digital art technologies

Students will be exposed to working with visual

communication and digital art for print, web, video

and personal use. Students will use current and

traditional techniques as related to the principles

and elements of design. This class is the capstone

class for the Digital Media Pathway.

Internships

Intro to Computer Science (ICS) Students learn: Programming using Scratch, Snap, Python, HTML and Java Script Designed to be the first computer science course

for students who have never programmed before

Students work in teams to create simple apps for

mobile devices using MIT App Inventor®, and Python.

Students explore the impact of computing in society

and the application of computing across career paths

and build skills and awareness in digital citizenship

and cybersecurity.

3D Media / Game DesignStudents learn: Advance Photoshop & Illustrator, Unity, GameSalad, Poser, DAZ Studio 3D, Alice, Sketchup and Blender

Students will be exposed to working in 2D and

3D environments and increase their learning

skills creating 2D and 3D Game Art and Models,

Effects Animation, Character Design, videos, and

Programing. This 3D media and Game design

Class has been structured to reflect the California

Challenge Standards for Visual Arts and the National

Education Technology Standards.

Introduction to Engineering Design (IED)Designed for 9th or 10th grade students, the major

focus of the IED course is to expose students to the

design process, research and analysis, teamwork,

communication methods, global and human impacts,

engineering standards and technical documentation.

Students use 3D solid modeling design software to help

them design solutions to solve proposed problems and

learn how to document their work and communicate

solutions to peers and members of the professional

community.

Principles of Engineering (POE)

This survey course of engineering exposes students to

major concepts they’ll encounter in a postsecondary

engineering course of study. Students employ

engineering and scientific concepts in the solution of

engineering design problems. They develop

problem-solving skills and apply their knowledge of

research and design to create solutions to various

challenges, documenting their work and communicating

solutions to peers & members of the professional

community.

Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM)Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) is the study of

manufacturing planning, integration, and implementation

of automation. In this course students will analyze,

design, and build manufacturing systems. While

implementing these designs, students will continually

hone their interpersonal skills, creative abilities, and

understanding of the design process. Students apply

knowledge gained throughout the course in a final

open-ended problem to build a manufacturing system.

Engineering Design & Development (EDD)Engineering Design and Development (EDD) is the

capstone course in the PLTW high school engineering

program. It is an engineering research course in which

students work in teams to design and develop an original

solution to a valid open-ended technical problem by

applying the engineering design process. Since the

projects on which students work can vary with student

interest and the curriculum focuses on problem solving,

EDD is appropriate for students who are interested in any

technical career path

Why Choose a Career Academy? • Career academies prepare students for careers and college.

What is the benefit of a Career Academy?

The Academy is a small learning community • Academy students are a group of students within the larger high school. • They take classes together for at least three years. • Academy students are taught by a team of teachers who teach different subjects, but work together to integrate their lessons and provide students with a holistic learning experience

The Academy offers college prep classes in Multimedia, Programming and Engineering • Academy students see how Multimedia and Engineering relate to other school subjects. • Academy students learn by receiving hands-on experience in the field of Multimedia or Engineering.

The Academy has partnerships with local employers, community leaders, and Antelope Valley College • Academy students access resources from outside the high school
