Thirty-two semester courses are offered to provide students a flexible way to enroll in the industrial Technology Department at Washington High School. All of our technology classes work with science, math, communications, and computer application classes to provide various classroom activities. The technology class uses various technology applications, such as robotics, computer-aided drafting, flexible manufacturing systems and electronic communication network. We strongly emphasize computer use and application of the math and science principles used in industry. Our manufacturing classes focus on students on practices of manufacturing and its relationship within our society.
Materials used in our manufacturing are wood, metal, and plastics.
The study of these materials will include presentations on the characteristics and properties as well as the processes and resources. In communications our students explore electronics, drafting, CAD, and graphic design areas. Construction technology allows an opportunity to understand how our environment was, is, and will be built. The impact of technology on industry is visible everywhere. The skills needed in today's industry are often not simple mechanical or electrical skills but are more essential skills.
