Designed for students who have career interests related to the fields of computer technology and electronics.
*Note: All KS Maui students are eligible to obtain a Certificate of Competency in Cyber Security from the University of Hawaiʻi Maui College. The sequence of course completion should be achieved in the following order, ICS 101, ICS 110, ICS 184, and ICS 171.
Digital Tools for the Information World – ICS 101 [MH05156] – Semester Daily
1 Credit. This college level dual credit course emphasizes production of professional level documents, spreadsheets, presentation, databases, and web pages for problem solving. Includes concepts, terminology, and a contemporary operating system. Required for Information Technology endorsement. Open to grades 9-12.
Computer Programming & Game Design [MH05159] OR Intro to Computer Programming – ICS 110 [MH04009] – Semester Daily
1 Credit. Using storyboarding as a metaphor for computer program and game design, students will use 3D graphics as the authoring medium to build interactive games and movies. Students will use algorithmic thinking and expression, abstraction, appreciation of elegance to communicate complex ideas, solve problems logically and find alternative solutions. Programming environment supports methods, functions, variable, parameters, recursion, arrays and events in a visual environment and an objects-first or objects-early approach. This course is an innovative approach to teaching computer programming using object oriented programming. Required for nformation Technology endorsement. Open to grades 10-12. Prerequisite: Successful completion of UH Maui placement test, ICS 101, and Principal approval.
Robotics Engineering [MH05160] – Semester Daily
1 Credit. This course uses robotics to integrate math, science and technology concepts in a project based setting. Students will program robots to perform basic behaviors such as motors and rotation, sound, light, touch and ultrasonic sensors and learn the following work related competencies: project and time management, resource allocation, information accessing, systems understanding, team work and problem solving. Required for Information Technology endorsement. Prerequisite: Junior or senior standing.
Introduction to Computer Security – ICS 171 [MH05167] – Semester Daily
1 Credit. Examines the essentials of computer security, including risk management, use of encryption, activity monitoring, intrusion detection; and the creation and implementation of security policies and procedures to aid in security administration.
