Stock Market and Entrepreneurialism
In a 21st century world, finance plays a critical role in the decision making of business all over the globe. In this course, you will have the opportunity to be introduced to the world of Wall Street, its influence on society, and how to properly invest money safely, securely, and effectively. You will also have the opportunity to learn how to use your skills to become a leader of your own business through entrepreneurial best practices.
Robotics
Robotics as a subject allows students to explore and solve real-world scenarios through Problem-based learning. Problem-Based learning requires students to generate solutions both independently and collaboratively using experimentation. This course guides students to complete projects based upon a certain set of parameters that are given prior to the beginning of class. The assessment and measuring of retention is done through the completion of an engineering notebook as well as create online blueprints and construct different structures based off of those notebooks and blueprints.
