This course is intended to introduce students to the world of technology. We will explore any area of Technology, such as Manufacturing, Transportation, Communication and design. Tool skills will be included, but a major emphasis will be placed on safety, teamwork, responsibility, problem solving, critical thinking, creativity, and evaluation skills. |
This course stresses engineering activities, such as designing, drafting, and fabrication. Students will learn and utilize the design process to design and make a small CO2 powered vehicle. The steps involved will be to identify the problem, make small thumbnail sketches to get many ideas, make rough sketches of a few of the designs of choice, select a final design and make a working drawing, and finally build the vehicle. |
This course focuses on communications, high tech design principles, and modular technology units. The modular units are offered to the students at a self- paced level and are designed to expose students to the many developing careers and technologies which exist in our society. The students will also use computers as a tool for designing and manufacturing. |
