HIGH TECHNOLOGY INTERNSHIP
310790-310791
This unique course is primarily intended for students with strong math/science backgrounds who also have career interests in the fields of engineering, scientific research, and state of the art manufacturing concepts including robotics and automated systems. On-the-job training will provide the student with a unique opportunity to explore and apply his/her education in a real world setting and a challenge rarely offered at the high school level. Typical placements (employment) will be with high technology firms located along the I-88 research corridor who primarily involved in research and development projects related to chemistry, physics, biology, computer science, computer integrated manufacturing (CIM), computer aided design (CAD), and electronics. The intention of the course is to provide the student with exposure to the
world s/he is hoping to enter following college or following advanced training after high school. One credit will be issued
for the successful completion of the related class material and one credit will be given for completing the on-the-job phase of the program. Leadership activities and competitive events will be offered through participation in student youth organizations.
