Biomedical Sciences

Biomedical Sciences combines medical concepts into the study of human body systems, medicine, health, biological concepts, metabolic processes, defense, protection, research processes, engineering principles and an introduction to bio-informatics. This includes the design and development of various medical interventions, including vascular stents, cochlear implants, and prosthetic limbs. Students complete classroom projects and studies on organ transplants, gene therapy, and other cutting-edge scientific advances. Students study these advances to develop skilled technical approaches to scientific inquiry.

HONORS Credit for CTE Level 3 Courses
Career and Technical Education (CTE) Level III (3) courses are designed for students who have demonstrated an advanced level of interest and achievement in their CTE subject area. CTE Level 3 courses are more demanding and have requirements beyond those of standard CTE courses.
The aims of CTE level III courses are to promote:
  • Opportunities for advanced work.
  • Rigorous study of CTE content areas.
  • Practical application of knowledge and skills.
  • Transfer of knowledge and skills to work-based situations.
  • College and Career credit and readiness.

This program supports students' college and career readiness. Students are college and career ready when they have the knowledge, skills, and academic preparation needed to enroll and succeed in college credit-bearing courses within an associate or bachelor degree program without the need for remediation. Students need these same attributes and levels of achievement to enter and succeed in post-secondary workforce education or to enter a career path offering a living wage and future advancement.
