Dual Credit Courses - Earn College Credit in High School
These classes are offered through LeTourneau University - The Christian Polytechnic Institute
Successfully completing either of these classes establishes for each student a college transcript from a highly respected, fully accredited, Christian university at a VERY reasonable price AND makes a student eligible for the LeTourneau Dual Credit Scholarship.
General Physics 1 and Lab (Course numbers: PHYS 1113 and PHYS 1111)
Physics I and Physics I Lab are college dual credit classes taken simultaneously
They are offered in both the fall and spring semesters
The classes are college-level, algebra-based physics courses, with labs, covering topics in classic and modern physics:
a. Kinematics (geometry of motion) b. Newton’s three laws of motion c. Uniform Circular motion d. Work and Energy e. Impulse Momentum and Collisions f. Statics and Dynamics g. Heat and Temperature h. Oscillations and Waves i. Sound j. Electrostatics k. Electric Potential and Electric Field l. Ohm’s Law m. Circuits n. Magnetism o. Light p. Geometric Optics q. Atomic and nuclear physics r. Astrophysics
The classes are taught live, online, meeting two days each week giving students direct access to the teacher. The classes are also recorded and available for students to review at their convenience
Students will learn physics from a Biblical perspective
Should I be an Engineer? (Course number: ENGR 1083)
An exploration of the field of engineering, including the skills, attributes, and character qualities that make a good engineer; how to become an engineer - typical classes and sequence of study; potential career paths; a chance to practice engineering with a simple design project; as well as guided self-assessments to determine your God-given design and its applicability to an engineering career.
When complete, if you choose to go into Engineering, you'll have a pretty good idea of what you're getting into!
