The IAT curriculum is composed of Academic core and cluster-based courses. The academic core courses include English, Mathematics, Science, Computer & Information Technology (CIT), Arabic, Islamic Studies, Citizenship and Life Skills, and Health and Physical Education. The academic core forms a solid foundation of interdisciplinary knowledge consisting of scientific literacy, enquiry skills, reasoning and problem-solving skills, critical thinking skills, and communication and social skills that enable students to pursue their goals in life.The Engineering Science cluster encompasses science, mathematics, technology, and engineering. Learners who pursue these careers will be involved in planning, managing, and providing scientific research and professional technical services. The Engineering Science cluster has two specialization paths in G12: Engineering Science - General and Engineering Science – Energy. The Engineering Science – General option offers advanced topics in engineering mathematics and physics as well as technology courses on general engineering practices utilized in process monitoring and control. The knowledge and skills delivered in these courses empowers the student with readiness to pursue courses at university level with ability to apply mathematics, science, and technology concepts in order to solve problems quantitatively in engineering projects involving design, development, and production. The Engineering Science – Energy option focuses on engineering practices utilized in the energy and power generation including oil and gas, solar, renewable, and nuclear energy. This covers the various energy resources pursued by the different agencies and industries in the UAE.The Applied Engineering cluster integrates the fundamentals of mechanical engineering, electrical, electronics, and intelligent computer control in product design and automation processes. It is applied widely in areas as diverse as manufacturing, medicine, and the service industries. The Applied Engineering cluster has two specialization paths in G12: Electrical and Mechanical.The Applied Engineering - Electrical option aims at providing students with the basic electrical knowledge and workplace skills. The practical courses in this option provide hands-on experience of electrical design and testing of electrical components, installation and equipment through practical tasks and projects. Students who complete this option are expected to possess a working knowledge of fundamental electrical concepts in addition to the basic knowledge of electronics, microcontrollers, robotics, and automation concepts.The Applied Engineering - Mechanical option exposes students to different mechanical areas using skills-based curriculum that focuses on teaching industry relevant technical skills such as drawing by using AutoCAD, operating and maintaining different mechanical systems, testing of different materials, and manufacturing by using conventional and CNC machines. In addition, students acquire project-related skills such as teamwork, problem solving, workplace and interpersonal skills that prepare them for the mechanical career opportunities in manufacturing and service industries.Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has become one of the basic building blocks of modern society. ICT permeates the business environment, underpins the success of modern corporations, and provides governments with an efficient infrastructure. The ICT industry encompasses: computer software engineering, multimedia production, computer hardware and peripherals manufacturing, telecommunication, website development, and internet services. ICT students learn the basics of graphic design, web development, visual programming, PC technology, networks, and database management.Health Science and Technology cluster prepare students to pursue their postsecondary education and various careers in the health profession. This enables students to gain personalized health information, as well as medical and technical terminology to facilitate the learning process. The career opportunities in this cluster extends beyond the typical doctor and nurse careers to include Paramedic, Hygienist, Physiotherapist, Occupational Therapist, Geneticist, Pathologist, Radiology Technologist, and Biomedical Engineer to name a few.
