Summary:
|
The District's Educational Services Department has made recommendations for updates in our district-wide course catalog. We are submitting a revised course for Project Lead The Way (PLTW): PLTW Principles of Biomedical Science. This course meets the UC/CSU A-G Requirement “D.”
Principles of Biomedical Science (PBS) is a full-year high school course in the PLTW Biomedical Science Program. This course provides foundational knowledge and skills in fields such as biology, anatomy & physiology, genetics, microbiology, and epidemiology. It engages students in how this content can be applied to real-world situations, cases, and problems. Through both individual and collaborative team activities, projects, and problems, students will tackle real-world challenges biomedical professionals face in the field. They will work with the same tools and equipment used in hospitals and labs to engage in relevant hands-on work. Students will develop skills in technical documentation to represent and communicate to other disciplines such as computer science and engineering, shape the future of medicine, and practice collaboration techniques that will help them connect with professionals across any field.
The course above has been approved by the Director of Curriculum and Instruction and the Assistant Superintendent of Educational Services.
