engineering type projects remains the focus that drives learning. The topics are built on those covered
in grade 11. Much of the foundational knowledge gained in grade 10 and 11 will help with these grade
12 topics. Each area will incorporate manufacturing in the form of modelling, prototyping, and
machining via CAM (computer aided manufacturing) methods. Greater use of Computer Aided Design
(CAD) is encouraged at this grade level in order to further enhance the students skill set. Developing
wider CAD ability students can create greater and more sophisticated solutions to problems and run
virtual testing methods. Prerequisite: Engineering 11 or Electronics & Robotics 11 or with
Instructor’s permission
Electronics & Robotics 11 (Mechtronics Pathway) :
Mechatronics is a multidisciplinary field that integrates mechanical engineering, electronics, computer
science, and control engineering to design and create intelligent systems and products. The primary
focus of this course is to develop and implement systems that can perform tasks by combining
mechanical components with sensors, actuators, and intelligent control systems. This program is
designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of mechatronics, preparing them to
design, build, and maintain intelligent systems that seamlessly integrate mechanical and electronic
components. The curriculum emphasizes a hands-on approach, combining theoretical knowledge with
practical skills to solve real-world engineering problems. Prerequisite: Tech Explorations 10 or with
Instructor’s permission

Composition and Production 11 (MUCP 11) (previously called “Recording and Sound”)
In Composition and Production students learn the fundamentals of live sound engineering, live sound
recording, Foley arts, sound design, podcasting, and music/beat creation. Students utilize hands-on
equipment for live sound recording, live sound setups for assemblies, concerts, and masses, while also
utilizing industry standard hardware and software for music and beat creation. No previous music
experience required. This program allows for creative development while introducing and preparing
students for potential studies and work in the audio field tied to music production, live sound mixing,
and film & broadcasting sound engineering.
