The student then chooses areas of interest and pursues independent, in-depth studies. Only This course provides for orientation to the careers and challenges of engineering. Activities are provided in descriptive geometry, materials science, and technical systems, technical reports, and informal sharing of ideas. This course is a hands-on class that reflects current and future technologies. This course will serve as a foundation for a lifetime of interest and application.
Students design and improve technology through problem solving activities.
Technologies to be explored include Bio-Technology, Communications, Construction, Manufacturing, Power and Energy, and Transportation. In Applied Technology II a student can use different technologies in a hands-on class to build on the experiences in Applied Technology I. These activities will include using computers, remote controlled vehicles, video equipment, electronics, and satellites. Students are challenged to use these technologies to solve practical problems familiar to them. Applied Technology III gives students the chance to explore many problems in the community and develop solutions for them.
