Computer Science The Computer Science Career Program of Study

(POS) prepares students for further study and careers in the field of Computer Science.

This program helps to develop a student's computational and critical thinking skills and prepare them to create new technologies.

This fundamental knowledge in Computer Science prepares them for the 21st century workplace, regardless of their ultimate field of study or occupation.

Some of the topics that may be included in Computer Science courses include: algorithms, data analysis, modeling, problem-solving, creating and manipulating graphics, coding or programming (including application or game design), security, web design, human-computer interaction, robotics and ethical issues.

The sequence of four courses is designed to give a thorough background in all aspects of Computer Science and blends academic, technical and workplace skills to prepare to college or career. The POS contains a minimum of four credits and includes relevant courses and a capstone experience such as an internship or a college course.

Additional Programs Grade 11 and 12Internship Program

The Internship Program at Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School is an integral part of the academic curriculum for juniors and seniors.

Each student participating in Internship receives both academic credit and grades, and spends part of each week off campus working under the combined supervision of both B-CC and an outside sponsor at a workplace that has been mutually agreed upon by the student, B-CC, and the sponsor.

Dual Enrollment Courses at Montgomery College

Early College Access Programs allow students to access college credit prior to high school graduation. Students may earn college credit through AP, IB and CLEP exams. They may also earn articulated credit through Career and Technology Education programs, or college credit through Dual Enrollment (DE) or Concurrent Enrollment (CE) opportunities.

Through CE or DE programs, high school students are dually enrolled in college and receive an educational experience beyond what is available at secondary schools. Select juniors and seniors who meet the college application standards may enhance their class schedule with college course work and experience the independence of college-level study while also earning college credit. Students may take college courses offered at many high school sites, on college campuses or through distance learning.

Courses Available to Freshman

Foundations of Technology (FOT) In Foundations of Technology students will develop

the attitude, knowledge, and skills they need to participate in the world.

Students will recognize relationships between school subjects and the world outside, and learn to combine relevant knowledge, experience, and critical thinking to solve authentic problems.

Students will explore and develop a deep understanding of the characteristics and scope of technology, the influence of technology on history; along with the relationships and the connections between technology, and other fields of study.

Students will develop an understanding of the attributes of design while developing skills in using the design process to problem solve.

Introduction to Engineering Design (IED) An introductory course which develops student

problem solving skills with emphasis placed on the development of three-dimensional solid models.

Students will work from sketching simple geometric shapes to apply a solid modeling computer software package.

Students will learn a problem solving design process and how it is used in industry to manufacture a product.

The Computer Aided Design System (CAD) will also be used to analyze and evaluate the product design.

The techniques learned, and equipment used, is state of the art and is currently being used by engineers throughout the United States.

Foundations of Computer Science This course is a part of the MSDE-

approved 4-credit Program of Studies in Computer Science.

The course provides an engaging introduction to computing concepts through a nationally-developed curriculum, offered through a unique partnership with Code.org.

The course focuses on the conceptual ideas of computing so that students understand why tools and languages are used to solve problems through a study of human computer interaction, problem solving, web design, programming, data analysis, and robotics.

Microcomputer Technologies◦ This course offers an in-depth

exposure to computer hardware and operating systems.

◦ Students will learn how computer hardware works, how to assemble and configure a computer, install operating systems and software, and troubleshoot hardware and software problems.

◦ In addition, they will be introduced to networking and wireless networking. This is the first course in the Cisco and Comptia certification process.

Website Development This course begins with students creating web

sites using basic html code. From there, the students are introduced to

Dreamweaver.◦ The Dreamweaver software is used to create exciting

web sites with brilliant color, images, and interactivity. Students will also use the Fireworks software to enhance the images created for their web sites.

Flash is introduced during the last quarter of this class. Flash is the most popular animation tool used by web designers. ◦ Students start out by creating basic animated graphics,

and eventually move developing full animated scenes.

Child Development 1 In this introductory course, students become part

of an education team that has direct interaction with 4-year-olds in a lab school setting.

Students interested in education, pediatric medicine, physical therapy, family law, psychology, and sociology enroll in this course in preparation for college and career experiences.

After a rigorous training period, students become part of a team of teachers responsible for the day-to-day workings of a lab school.
