The curriculum is an action-based, comprehensive educational program which involves students in reasoning, problem solving, construction, and creative activities.
Students are responsible for completing a portfolio in all of the systems of technology.
These systems include communication, construction, manufacturing, technological, and transportation. The purpose of the technology systems portfolio, which may include research, writing, construction of a project, or some appropriate form of demonstration, is to ensure that the student is able to apply, analyze, synthesize, evaluate information, and communicate significant knowledge and understanding. Projects may be undertaken by individual students or groups of students. The competitive events contained in this course challenge students to write research papers, to write technical reports, and to prepare speeches about the development of technology and its impact on people, the environment, and culture. Students will have an opportunity to further develop and advance their understanding of the world of industry and technology.
