Introduction: All
Industrial Tech classes meet Applied Arts graduation
requirements. Students who complete a predetermined sequence of
courses in a given area will be entitled to receive a certificate of
competency in that area of concentration during their senior awards
ceremony. This is Soquel High's way of recognizing students'
academic focus and achievement. Course work in any of our three
areas is designed to provide students with entry-level skills in
industry or to provide them with a good foundation for further study in
college, such as engineering, architecture, etc. The student who
completes three semesters of Industrial Tech in any one lab--wood,
metal, or drafting--may waive one semester of the math requirements.
