hmmm next year i'm allowed to take 2 of the following:

 

CAD

3d printing+vinyl cutting stuff

 

computer game design

using unity to make 2d games

 

computer hardware

computer theory, how to build a pc+basic network, bit of programming

 

EE

very basic programming, circuitry

 

robotics

lego ev3 stuff

 

web design

html, css, js

 

'explore com. sci./engineering'

fundamentals of cs, robotics, design, circuitry, engineering

 

computer literacy(dual credit)

the first 9 wks are touch typing though

 

computer applications(dual credit)

basically how to use windows and ms office

 

advice?

 

 

EDIT: added course "descriptions"

    What are you more interested in?

  2. Gegger

    Gegger

    everything

     

    i'm more interested in stuff to do with hardware and less software

  3. TopHatProductions115

    TopHatProductions115

    EE and computer hardware

    I recommend you taking 3D printing and web design. Because those are the two topics I could have chosen for my final project. I chose Web Design (aka I made my own App). If I would have had the cash to afford a 3D printer then I would have chosen that, because we didn't have one at school.

    ...what are you working towards? Or does none of it matter in relation to that?

    @dizmo (intentional not mention)

    If you mean what career i want to go into, definitely related to PCs, but right now it doesn't really matter.

    @Gegger I suppose you like to draw and sketch ? If so, I could see you as a game designer one day.

    Of those, the ones that stick out as the most useful would be:

    • Web Design
      Can be useful in the future, though with the way easy-to-setup sites are going perhaps not the most so.
    • Explore Com/Sci Engineering
      Seems to cover a little of everything, which might lead to a new interest.
    • EE
      I think basic programming should be mandatory learning at this point. Though I'm glad it wasn't when I was in school. I hate that shit.
    • CAD
      As 3D printing grows in popularity, it could be a very useful skill to have.

     

    I imagine Computer Hardware would be kind of useless since you already know it. Unless you just want easy marks.

    Computer Applications would be useful to have as many college courses require something similar, but if you don't get any credit there for them, it's boring AF.

    Computer Literacy, same thing. Reminds me of a class we had in Elementary school when computers were still rather new.

    Computer Game Design seems rather specific. If you're not that interested, I wouldn't bother.

    Robotics is pretty specific.

     

    Really, though, without knowing what you want to become or what you're going into, it's a little futile to ask for advice on what to take.
