This is the culminating course within our CTE Advanced Manufacturing Pathway. Advanced Engineering
Principles is a laboratory-based class wherein students propose a culminating project that utilizes the skills
and principles learned in Advanced Manufacturing Pathway courses including designing, fabrication, electric
engineering and programing language. Similar to a dissertation, students will propose a project including an
inquiry they wish to find the answer to. The instructor will serve as an advisor/facilitator helping students to observe, question and to experiment with designs. Students will be encouraged to think critically, logically
and to defend a conclusion as is expected in the advanced manufacturing industry. Students will be required to
present and defend their culminating project at the end of the course including proficiency of key industry
skills.

This is an advanced course that allows students to expand on their pre-existing knowledge of manufacturing
and metalworking to produce and engineer products that are seen in the actual marketplace. Students will
expand their knowledge by using industry standard CNC (computer numerical control) machines. In this
class, students will complete coursework that is common to college engineering programs, trade schools and
union apprenticeship programs. Students have the opportunity to become certified in welding through this
course. Upon completion of this course, students will be ready to pursue a degree in Engineering, Metallurgy,
Materials Sciences, Project Management or any other building trades.

Design/Build is a two semester course at Fallbrook Union High School designed to familiarize students with
the concepts behind design and fabrication using a combination of pencils and paper, wood, concrete and at
times various other materials to achieve predetermined goals. This course has a STEAM (Science,
Technology, Engineering ART, and Math) focus and will include technology-based forms of artistic
expression, to offer a well-rounded creative environment for our students to experience a hands on learning
experience steeped equally in state of the art, technology, and meaningful hands-on design skills. While
creativity and artistic expression are key to this introductory Architectural Design course, we put equal
emphasis on the necessity of careful documentation, and reflection.

This year long course is the first in the EAM pathway and is organized into two individual components
(mechanical engineering/manufacturing and electrical engineering). The course has four major units that
allows the student to explore their creativity while developing and manufacturing a product. The major units
covered will consist of design, prototyping, fabrication of product, and marketing/manufacturing. By
integrating these two disciplines, students will experience what it means to engineer, manufacture and market
a product that is completely synthesized from their own imagination.

Machine Tool Technology is a career and technical preparatory project and laboratory-based class. As much
as possible, you will practice in class what fabricators and engineers really do: observing, hypothesizing,
questioning, experimenting with designs and drawing conclusions. Questioning and thinking are
emphasized. Learning content (facts) is important, but helping you to think like a fabricator (critically,
logically, using justifications for arguments) is the focus of metal fabrication. Different points of view are
presented in the class, however you and your family can decide what views you take as your own. All
students in metal fabrication can succeed and excel. The way the class is structured and taught encourages
you to be responsible and interested. Neatness and clarity as well as correct spelling, punctuation and
grammar on all assignments are required. Papers that do not meet these requirements will not be
accepted. You will be encouraged to do high quality work of which you can be proud. Think about your
work; connect content from other disciplines and areas of your life.

This course covers introductory topics for careers in high demand technical fields such as advanced
manufacturing, web and app design, electrical engineering, or even computer programming. The course
covers five of the most useful basic programming languages, and the basics of electrical engineering and
micro-controller programming. These skills are built upon each other and framed within the contexts
of creating innovative projects from robotic arms and autonomous programmable robotics, smart home
technology, app development and web design. Students will through the use of everything from wireless
Bluetooth control, Infrared Remote Control, and high tech sensors to provide our students with the
foundations to grow lifelong skills within the ever expanding world of robotics, engineering, and technology.

Changes in the transportation service industry. This is the first course in the Transportation Technology
pathway. The Transportation Technology course covers basic principles of operations of engines,
transmission, steering, suspension, brakes, electrical, and computer controlled systems found on the modern
automobile. Scheduled, preventative automotive maintenance, and minor services are performed.
Transportation theory and service procedures including lecture/discussion and hands-on experience. Designed
for the student with little or no background in the transportation field. Upon successful completion of the
course, students should be able to:
1) Demonstrate the ability to safely work in an automotive shop environment
2) Prepare a work order & safety inspection order in compliance with industry standards.
3) Identify the components of the major automotive systems & explain the functions of each
4) Perform minor maintenance & service on modern transportation vehicles.

The Transportation Technology II course prepares students for post-secondary education and employment in
the transportation industry. Transportation Technology II: Maintenance and Light Repair is the second course
in the transportation technology program of study and covers important skills and knowledge on becoming a
professional service technician. Students study automotive general electrical systems, starting and charging
systems, batteries, lighting, brakes and heating and cooling systems. Hours earned in the Maintenance and
Light Repair course may be used toward meeting National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation
(NATEF) standards. Fallbrook High School plans to apply for NATEF accreditation, which will allow
students completing all of the Maintenance and Light Repair courses to enter the automotive service industry
as an ASE (Automotive Service Excellence) Certified Technician.

The evolution of transportation technology repair has seen a change in emphasis from mechanical to technical
work. Presently, vehicles use high-tech computers and complex electronic systems to monitor the
performance of the vehicle. Students will gain skill development in the professional maintenance, repair, and
diagnosis of transportation technology malfunctions. This course introduces transportation technology
students to the role of hybrid and alternative fuel systems in today's society. The course will cover the design, theory of operation and service of several current hybrid and alternative fuel vehicles. The class will run in a similar format to an actual automotive service and repair facility where students service vehicles supplied by the Fallbrook community. This series of courses is complementary to the Advanced Manufacturing pathway. Fallbrook High School plans to apply for NATEF accreditation, which will allow students completing all of the Maintenance and Light Repair courses to enter the automotive service industry as an ASE (Automotive Service Excellence) Certified Technician.
