Video/Television Production I, II

This course teaches the basics of electronic news gathering (ENG) and television production. Students will be part of the JET-TV (Jericho Educational Television) team as reporters, camera operators, and editors. Students will learn the techniques of directing, scripting, interviewing, advanced editing, and audio mixing. "Everybody is a star at JET-TV", either in front or behind the camera. Many interdisciplinary projects and opportunities are also available. Student work will be entered in various local and national competitions. Guest speakers and related field trips are planned to give students an opportunity to experience "real world" productions.

Grades 9-12 - 1/2 credit per semester - Video I is a prerequisite for Video II

TV Studio Production I

Students enrolled in this course will learn how to produce the morning announcements and other short features that may be shown throughout the school and community. They will be involved in the development of all components of these productions including the use of digital ENG (electronic news gathering), as well as script writing, interviewing, reporting, directing, editing, and occasional videotaping of extracurricular or current events. This course is intended to augment the skills the students learned in Video Production I and II, and provide them with advanced training that may lead to university study and careers in broadcasting.

Grades 11-12 - 1 credit

Prerequisites: Video Production I & II

Introduction to Engineering Design (IED)

This is an engineering foundation course that teaches problem-solving skills using a design development process. Models of product solutions are created, analyzed and communicated using sophisticated solid modeling computer software.
This course will be the first part of a Project Lead the Way sequence in the high school. Project Lead the Way is a nationwide multi-year program which, when combined with traditional secondary school mathematics and science courses, introduces students to the scope, rigor and discipline of engineering prior to entering college.

Grades 9 or 10
1 credit
Full year course
Upon successful completion, students can earn credit from Rochester Institute of Technology.

Civil Engineering/Architechture (CEA)

This is the second course in the Jericho High School Project Lead the Way sequence. It emphasizes the interrelationship and dependence of both civil engineering and architecture on each other. This is accomplished through a comprehensive study of the roles of civil engineers and architects in: project and site planning, building design, documentation and presentation. Students will also be involved in the production of long and short term projects utilizing sophisticated computer software such as Autodesk Revit and Inventor Professional.

Grades 10 or 11
1 Credit
Prerequisite: Introduction to Engineering Design; Knowledge of basic Algebra, Geometry and Trigonometry is strongly recommended.
