Prerequisite GSST College Calculus or completion of AP Calculus BC with a score of 5 on the
exam, or a score of 4 and permission of the instructor.
Differential Equations & Math Methods in Physics (3179): (1 weighted high school math
credit) The first semester the emphasis will be on Ordinary
Differential Equations (ODE). Partial Differential Equations (PDE) at the end of the first
semester and conclude the second semester by looking at modeling the four fundamental forces
and other applied topics. The construction of mathematical models to address real-world problems
has been one of the most important aspects of each of the branches of science. It is often the case
that these mathematical models are formulated in terms of equations involving functions as well
as their derivatives. Such equations are called differential equations. These
differential equations are the language in which the laws of nature can be expressed.
Understanding the properties of solutions of differential equations is fundamental too much of
contemporary science and engineering. If only one independent variable is involved, often time,
the equations are called ordinary differential equations. The course will demonstrate the
usefulness of ordinary differential equations for modeling physical and other phenomena.
Complementary mathematical approaches for their solution will be presented, including analytical
methods, graphical analysis and numerical techniques. This course also covers the classical
partial differential equations of applied mathematics, physics, and engineering: diffusion,
Laplace/Poisson, and wave equations. It also includes methods and tools for solving these PDEs,
such as separation of variables, Fourier, Laplace, Legendre, Bessel series and transforms,
eigenvalue problems, and Green's functions. Emphasis during the second semester will be placed
on building and modeling the fundamental forces of nature. Prerequisite for Differential Equations
is successful completion of Multivariable Calculus/Linear Algebra and permission of the
instructor.

Environmental Science: Research Applications / Mentorship (4271 / 4612): (2 weighted high
school science credits). In the fall semester, students integrate aspects of biology, chemistry, earth
science, and physics in the study of the environment. Exploration of relationships between
organisms and their biotic and abiotic environment at multiple levels of biological system
hierarchy serves as the foundation for this course. Laboratory and fieldwork are integral
components of the course. Students undertake field sampling for water quality and biotic
components. While analyzing their own data, students will become familiar with concepts such as
spatial and temporal variation in natural systems, species diversity, and community similarity
indices. Critical thinking, risk analysis, and cost-benefit analysis will be emphasized as students
identify and analyze alternative solutions to complex environmental problems. Current or ongoing
environmental issues and/or case histories will be emphasized. Spring semester will emphasize
ecological principals from physiological ecology to ecosystem ecology. Mentorship involves
students in concentrated research or project development in firms and laboratories throughout the
Tidewater area. Students are supervised by mentors who are scientists, engineers, physicians and
other professionals. Students plan, implement, document and present research or projects chosen
in consultation with their mentors. Students refine their research and presentation techniques,
problem-solving, critical thinking and leadership skills. Students gain proficiency with Minitab
statistical software for presentation and analysis of data. This course provides students with an
opportunity to integrate theory, knowledge and application through a research experience.

SUBJECT: 2018-24 Crisis Plan Review
The Commonwealth requires that school boards review their written school crisis, emergency
management, and medical emergency response plans annually. In 2009, the state determined
that regional programs/centers would fall under and be reported by the school division in which
they are located. As a result, Butler Farm campus is reported as a school under Hampton City
Public Schools and the Woodside Lane campus as a school under Newport News Public Schools.
Kiln Creek Elementary School and York Middle School are incorporated into their respective
school based plans. The rationale for this decision is that if a crisis occurs at a NHREC site, it
will be the local response teams and authorities that will provide services.
NHREC site principals met with the respective divisional emergency managers to review and
update the NHREC crisis plan. Only minor changes were made this year, such as updating
personnel names and reformatting the handbook for easier reference.

October 2, 2017 The Advanced Technical Careers Academy (ATC) Business Council thanks you and your business for agreeing to participate in the NHREC 2017-2018 Employer/CTE Employment Partnership - “The Good Life Solution.” The goal is to transition a minimum of 20 qualified and trained high school students to employment upon graduation. Important: Kick-Off meeting is October 20, 2017 from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM at the NHREC Butler Farm. This is a transformational change from an educational training model to an Employer Driven Talent Acquisition and Retention model. This is an integrated and synchronized partnership designed to change the paradigm of CTE training on the Peninsula and in the state.
Traditional Education Model: student = customer, product is graduate with credentials Employer Driven Model: Business = product is productive, engaged, long term employee
The Employer Driven Model uses industry best practices and state of the art theory to meet EMPLOYERS current and future hiring and retention needs as a part of your Talent Acquisition and Retention Strategy. This partnership is for organizations desiring to improve their business performance through improved workforce productivity, reduced cost to hire, and believe that re-capitalizing their workforce with CTE Graduates should be part of that effort.

Katherine Perkins is currently a senior at The Governor’s School.
Her mentor at NASA is Dr. Ryan Norman. They will be using
models to study how to reduce astronauts’ risk of radiation damage
when astronauts are in space. This is especially significant as longer
deployments are planned.
Dr. Norman introduced Katherine to his colleague Dr. John Mather
who was the recipient of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 2006. He
was recognized for his research supporting the Big Bang theory of
the universe. Katherine had the pleasure of meeting with Dr. Mather
for three hours during which they discussed physics and education.

“New-Collar Jobs” for a Smart Manufacturing Renaissance Target Online Original Story • August 10
By Glenn Marshall, Newport News Shipbuilding (retired), AME Management
Team, [email protected]
The demand for “middle skill” workers — those with associate degrees or training
certificates — will continue to grow rapidly, especially in well-paying fields like health
sciences, information technology, and advanced manufacturing.
Organizations are realizing a traditional college education is not the only way of
nurturing young talent. IBM HR Vice President Sam Ladah says the focus should be on
“new-collar jobs” – judging candidates on skills rather than educational background. He
believes people who don’t have four-year degrees can prove their technical knowledge
through other certifications.
IBM also created a “new collar” initiative to attract students studying other fields who
demonstrate analytical thinking skills. This program offers on-the-job training,
shadowing, and mentorship from IBM employees.
Schools, businesses, and community colleges are now understanding that high-quality,
hyper-relevant apprenticeships or certification programs are valuable and are starting to
treat them equally, if not preferably, to generic degrees. These new-collar jobs are
offering students affordable and rewarding career paths which may not require a college
degree along with little or no debt.
Companies are looking for high school graduates who have gained skills in operating
complex manufacturing systems that integrate electrical, mechanical, and computer
engineering with responsibility for their efficient operation and preventative
maintenance.
To address these challenges, in Virginia, businesses, educators, and community
leaders have come together to launched the Advanced Technical Career
(ATC) Academy program. This employer driven partnership is training high school
juniors and seniors for careers in automotive, construction, and advanced
manufacturing.
These career clusters were selected for the academy due to the skill transference
between occupations within each career cluster such as: schematics,
math/measurement, computer technology, technical writing, work ethic, safety, following
instructions, problem solving, critical thinking, team work, mechanical aptitude, business
concepts, and quality control.
For instance, advanced manufacturing candidates can take the Mechatronics program
offered by Thomas Nelson Community College taught at New Horizons Regional
Education Center (NHREC) part of their new ATC Academy program. This program is a
special two-year pilot course limited to 16 students to address in demand needs of
businesses. Students earn 22 dual enrollment credits at no cost, and a Thomas Nelson
Career Studies Certificate, all the while earning a high school diploma and the Siemen
Certification, a nationally recognized industry credential.
The Mechatronics program prepares students for advanced mechanical/electrical
industry technician jobs that design, install, maintain, repair, or troubleshoot
manufacturing systems. These Mechatronics graduates start out as technicians at
$36,000 to $40,000 with pathways into engineering positions.
To learn more about the “Jobs of the Future” and “Smart Manufacturing”, at the
AME International Conference in Boston October 9-12th there are interactive discussion
groups to share ideas and best practices on how to fill the talent pipeline with these
“new collar job” candidates to provide the much-needed middle skills for a
“Manufacturing Renaissance” for the 4th Industrial Revolution.
