This Career Cluster® is focused on planning, managing, and providing scientific research and professional and technical services (e.g., physical science, social science, engineering) including laboratory and testing services, and research and development services.
The Employability Skills for Career Readiness Standards must be an integrated component of all CTE course sequences.
The Energy Technologies program introduces students to the power industry. Students will gain an understanding of the various energy sources, energy forms, energy principles, efficiency concepts, electricity, and electrical codes and policies.
The Engineering Foundations program provides students the opportunity to learn various aspects of engineering fundamentals that would be required for any engineering field. Areas of study include safety, the engineering design process, impacts of engineering on society, sketching and documentation methods, material properties, power systems and energy principles, as well as statistics and kinematic principles.
Students who started the program of study in or prior to the 2022-23 school year will complete the program sequence as stated in the 2021-22 CTE Course Catalog. The Level 3 course for students who started the program of study in or prior to the 2022-23 school year will be offered through the 2024-25 school year.
