This document consists of 37 draft curriculum maps and 3 curricula that were developed to enable vocational students to make a smooth transition from their high school vocational program to an associate degree or vocational diploma program at Blackhawk Technical College in Wisconsin. The career maps outline the reading, mathematics, and other skills/skill levels and high school- and technical college-level course sequences required of students pursuing the given career path. Next, 15 entry-level communication competencies required of all tech prep students are listed. The remainder of the guide consists of three 4-week technical college-level competency-based courses in the following subjects: applied mathematics (basic arithmetic operations, quality assurance, statistics, measurement, scientific notation, and trigonometry); science (food science; avionics/hydraulics; the chemical breakdown of foodstuffs, gas laws and laboratory procedures, and an overview of anatomy; and force and motion); and communications (basic communication, business correspondence, and report-writing skills as related to occupations in food science, aviation, allied health, and mechanical design). Each curriculum guide contains some or all of the following: syllabus, behavioral objectives, background information, instructional handouts, and learning activities. (MN)
