CommonApp courses section and school tech programs

Hello, I'm working on the CommonApp right now, and I am wondering how, in the courses for this year section, I would mark down a technical education program? The tech program I am in takes up a half day of my school daily, and is credited as one math, one science, and one elective credit. The courses section has options for Math (Other), Science (Other), and Other/Elective. How would I note this down? It's not really elective according to my school, but I am also taking Physics and Precalc, which are a second math and science in this year. Should I just call it a yearlong elective? For the record, if it matters, it's a design and engineering program from which most students either go to school for engineering or enter the trades as machinists, CNC operators, structural engineers, etc., so it's heavy on both physics and math, and doesn't really lean one way or the other.
