The new courses include sheet metal technology, introduction to instrumental and electrical, and advanced instrument and electrical.
The sheet metal course will be replacing practicum in construction management and will give a more concentrated effort of the installation and manufacturing of sheet metal within the HVAC program, according to the agenda.
The introduction to instrumental and electrical course will be replacing principles of construction and will be giving a more concentrated focus within the electrical components of construction.
The new advanced instrumental and electrical course will be replacing practicum in construction management and will be giving a more concentrated focus within the advanced levels of electrical components of construction.
The courses are state-approved courses, and they “enable students to master knowledge, skills and competencies not included in the essential knowledge and skills of the required curriculum,” according to the Oct. 17 board agenda.
The new courses will be available for students for the 2023-24 school year.
