Students use core technology knowledge to solve open-ended problems and create systems. Laboratory activities engage students in the design process through projects that integrate math, science, and other core subjects. Working in groups, students build and control systems in the development of technology. The course includes information on careers, electrical and electronic theory and applications, components, simple circuits, troubleshooting, and consumer information. Students interested in engineering or related careers will benefit from the course.
Students gain an understanding of technical drawing careers in modern industry.
Students use handbook of standards and specifications along with other resource materials. Students interested in engineering or related careers will benefit from this course. This course is most appropriate for students anticipating employment or further studies in the sciences, engineering, or technology fields. This course is designed to provide a technology-based approach to learning engineering and physics concepts. As a laboratory-based course, students will learn how to measure forces, work, rates, resistance, energy, power, and momentum in mechanical, electronic, fluid, and thermal systems.
