Career opportunities are abundant and increasing in the fields of electronics, robotics and programming. This College
Tech Prep Initiative will provide students with great preparation in theory and hands on experience. Transistor circuits,
amplifiers, LED lighting and soldering projects are included. Vex robots are built and programmed with C language.
BASIC language is used for parallax robots and LED displays. Video game programming is offered; computers are
assembled and software installed. Students who complete the Electronics, Robotics and Programming College Tech
Prep Initiative will have the opportunity to continue their studies in post-secondary education, enhance their skills in
the military or directly enter the workforce. College credits available. For more information, see the Compact Career
Catalog 2017-18.

COURSE: Forestry and Landscape Management · STEM

GRADE LEVEL: 10, 11, 12
LENGTH: Two years
SCHOOL: Roosevelt
CREDIT: Level I – Environmental Science 1; CP or Comp English 1; Forestry and Landscape Management IA 1;

Forestry & Landscape Management IB 1.
Level II – Environmental Science 1; CP or Comp English 1; Forestry and Landscape Management IIA 1;
Forestry and Landscape Management IIB 1; Optional Capstone* 1. (*Capstone includes
project/problem-based learning opportunities that occur both in the building and at an external site.
Students may combine classroom teaching with work experience.)
Students learn about plant and horticultural science, urban forestry, landscape design and build, as well as turf science
and management. Students are prepared for further education in fields such as Urban Forestry, Turf Management,
Arboriculture, Landscape Construction or Environmental Science. Successful completion can lead to career
opportunities in the “Green Industry.” In the second year, students concentrate on one area, attending class for
approximately 50 minutes a day and working three to four hours a day in an area of interest. College credits available.
