Aerospace engineering pathway at PV High with Monterey Bay DART

In plain English

An agreement with Monterey Bay Drone, Automation, Robotics, and Technology would help launch the Flight, Aerospace, Systems, and Technology career pathway at PV High School, where students would build a functional airplane over two years. It is paid for with the state Golden State Pathways Program grant and has no General Fund impact.

We explain items like this one from the staff report, and we haven't found it yet (it may not be posted). We check twice a day; until then, see the official documents below.

Official wording

Approve MOU with Monterey Bay DART & PVUSD / CTE Engineering Design: Flight, Aerospace, Systems, and Technology Pathway Implementation Prepared by: Julie Edwards, Director, Strategic Educational Options This item is provided to the PVUSD Board and supports work furthering PVUSD LCAP Goal 1. It has no impact on the PVUSD General Fund. The Memorandum of Understanding between Monterey Bay Drone, Automation, Robotics, and Technology (DART) and PVUSD will be funded directly from the restricted funds received from the CDE Golden State Pathways Program Grant. The statement of work for services is in alignment with actions submitted to the grantor to secure the grant funding and is in alignment with the outcomes in the work plan associated with the grant. This item's funding falls within the monetary and timeline terms of the grant. The Memorandum of Understanding between Monterey Bay DART and PVUSD provides the infrastructure, instructional support, and steps to further implement the Engineering Design CTE pathway at PV High School, Flight, Aerospace, Systems, & Technology (FAST). In this pathway, students dive deep into the principles of flight, aerospace engineering, mechanical systems, and aviation technology. And, over two years, students will build a functional airplane while exploring the physics, software, and structural engineering behind air and space systems. This hands-on CTE pathway will emphasize real-world problem-solving, technical skill-building, and teamwork to prepare our students for careers in aerospace, mechanical, and systems engineering or further study in STEM fields. Key Focus Areas: • Aircraft design and construction • Flight physics and propulsion • Aerospace materials and structures • Avionics and software systems • Engineering design and project management Approve MOU with Monterey Bay DART & PVUSD / CTE Engineering Design
