To carry on: Here's the surface course description from the state regarding how the curriculum meets A-G, but it's only the course list:

Here's the link to the State of CA curriculum description from 2013, but it no longer works- it appears to be behind a new access system for submitting new courses, requiring you to register your school:

Text copied directly from the portal in 2013:
Brief Course Description:
This is first course of a three-year series of
integrated curriculum that will collectively cover the content
contained in a standard laboratory science physics course, a
standard Visual and Performing Arts sculpture course, and an
engineering elective course.$@# These courses will be taught by
a team of teachers who are credentialed in physics, visual and
performing arts, and engineering technology.$@# Content will be
covered in a completely integrated, cross-curricular fashion. The
content covered for each discipline during the first year of the
course is as follows:
Engineering Technology:
Engineering design and product development, drafting conventions,
schematics, layouts, engineering drawings, CAD software, bill of
materials, computer programming basics using Excel and CAD, tools
of engineering technology, simple machines
Visual and Performing
Arts—Sculpture: Elements and principles of design (e.g.
line, shape, value, harmony, balance, and rhythm), basic techniques
(e.g. addition, subtraction, and manipulation), tools, historical
and cultural context, and how to critique artworks
Physics: Forces and
Newton’s Laws, vectors, speed, velocity, torque, energy,

In thirty minutes worth of searching, I'm unable to find/access the original from my research in 2013 while writing Ditching Shop Class. Please put the word out to the people at DP that many of us would like the link to the actual course descriptions filed with the state, with the descriptions of what kinds of teaching credentials are needed to teach which classes. They put a lot of effort into it and have a fine program.

Joe, I agree with this sentiment. FRC has huge potential to train students for tech jobs without a college education, and we should push to unleash that in California.
