Thomas Dale High – Energy and Power (alignment to Community College TBD)

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

In this course, students analyze energy sources and explore the generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity using the Energy Industry Fundamentals modules from the Center for Energy Workforce Development (CEWD). The course provides math, science, and technical-writing skills through hands-on application. CED84O Energy Demand: Sustainability and Efficiency CED84H Energy Demand: Sustainability and Efficiency CED84D Energy Demand: Sustainability and Efficiency (alignment to Community College TBD) Students in this course will explore the principles of energy demand with an emphasis on sustainability and efficiency. Concepts include energy demand and utilization across sectors such as residential, commercial, industrial, and transportation. Students apply the design process to improve facility efficiency, perform energy audits, and explore new and emerging technologies and will recognize their role as energy stewards of tomorrow. CEL84O Energy Source Life Cycle CEL84H Energy Source Life Cycle CEL84D Energy Source Life Cycle(alignment to Community College TBD) Exploring concepts, trends, challenges, and careers, students will build an understanding of energy, from source to end-user. Students participate in hands-on activities, such as illustrating and modeling electrical grids, gas systems, and other renewable- and nonrenewable-energy systems. Students explore markets, grid modernization, efficiency, innovation, and careers in energy. CES84O Energy Supply: Sustainability and Efficiency CES84H Energy Supply: Sustainability and Efficiency CES84D Energy Supply: Sustainability and Efficiency(alignment to Community College TBD) Students in this course will explore the principles of energy supply with an emphasis on sustainability and efficiency. Concepts include energy supply and sources (such as wind, solar, nuclear, and biomass), energy generation, innovations in energy, and career exploration. Students apply knowledge by designing, mapping, and modeling energy systems and will recognize their role as energy stewards of tomorrow. CET85O Energy Transmission and Distribution Advanced CET85H Energy Transmission and Distribution Advanced CET85D Energy Transmission and Distribution Advanced(alignment to Community College TBD) In this advanced course, students use hands-on applications like designing circuits, smart grids, and gas systems to deepen their knowledge of concepts, laws, and theories related to energy transmission and distribution. Students use and interpret engineering and technical drawings. They explore emerging trends and consider how energy transmission and distribution affect societies and the environment. CEE84O Engineered Energy Systems CEE84H Engineered Energy Systems CEE84D Engineered Energy Systems(alignment to Community College TBD) Students will understand how engineered systems provide efficient, safe, and reliable energy. Students design and model energy systems, including those using renewable and non-renewable energy sources. This course will explore the engineering design process, health and safety standards, supply chain management, and relationships between producers and consumers in the energy sector. Students will also research careers in energy.
