Course Schedule
We will be covering a large amount of content this semester! The schedule will be Monday, Wednesday, and Friday's are rotation days! During these rotation days, students will be in their designated rotations (Power/Energy/Transportation, Design/Engineering, Production/Construction, or Communications). Students will have three weeks per rotation, or nine rotation days. On Tuesday's and Thursday's, we will going over content in the form of lectures! If a student misses one of these days, they need to get into contact with Mr. Maiseroulle to see what they missed!
