CAPS Courses

Digital Design & Software Development

Digital Design and Software Development are key pillars of a national push to promote science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) courses to students. With thousands of technology jobs remaining unfilled each year throughout the United States, the demand for high-skill training has never been greater.

Students enrolled in the Digital Design and Software Development course will gain hands-on experience by working on cutting edge projects and utilizing current technologies. Students should expect to spend time solving problems for local businesses using the latest computer and software tools. To help students achieve their goals to learn and do, local industry experts and mentors will work with CAPS students to teach and inspire.

Business, Marketing & Entrepreneurship

CAPS is all about students solving real problems, with real tools (used by real professionals), being mentored by real employers, leading to real contributions in the professional arena.

The Business, Marketing, and Entrepreneurship strand provides students hands-on experiences working with local business thinkers and leaders. The area focuses on developing innovative thinking and communication skills. Students will learn about latest marketing technologies and practices for small businesses. Additionally, students will understand the key elements of starting, operating, and growing a business.

Throughout the semester, local industry mentors from small and large companies will mentor students which will lead to strong networks and greater business exposure for students seeking to become business owners and leaders.

Engineering & Industrial Design

The Engineering and Industrial Design course is for students who are interested in a combination of rigorous science and engineering fundamentals, industrial design, and innovation. Students use technical knowledge to create solutions to world problems. Students will learn the essential components of engineering including the Design Process. The remainder of the student’s experience is individually tailored to the student’s engineering interest, e.g. chemical, electrical, mechanical, aeronautics & astronautics, nuclear, civil & environmental, software/computer, architectural, advanced manufacturing, robotics and industrial design.

All students will have hands-on, active learning opportunities with a full immersion in real-world projects sponsored by business partners. The students will work with local, national and international organizations in the for profit and not-for-profit sectors.

Medicine & Health Science

Within the ever-changing world of healthcare, knowledge of medical practices and procedures has never been greater. Through the use of project-based instructional techniques, students will engage in research, project planning, product design, and professional communication with local healthcare and medical professionals. This career pathway offers students the unique opportunity to explore their own personal interests as they explore the amazing and multi-faceted world of medical science careers.

As a rising industry that provides quality, lasting jobs, students will learn important skills that will be a catalyst to their development and preparation for training within the medical and health sectors. Students will be mentored by some of Utah’s best experts in the medical field and will enjoy working on real-life projects that will benefit them for years to come.
