Students will also be engaged in the use of electronics simulation software and systems components to understand, design, and use electronic systems for problem solving. Laboratory activities include the making of printed circuit boards, power supplies, alarm systems, circuit testers, and electronic novelties. It is strongly recommended that potential students should have successfully completed Algebra 1 prior to taking this course. Students interested in engineering or related careers will benefit from the course. Basic Technical Drawing Students gain an understanding of technical drawing careers in modern industry.
Students use handbooks of standards and specifications along with other resource materials.
Students interested in engineering or related careers will benefit from this course. Counts as one science credit for either the standard or advanced diploma. Physics of Technology is for students who are interested in science, engineering, and technology but whose mathematics study is limited to Algebra 1. The course addresses all of the physics standards through specific engineering and physics concepts as well as process skills such as research, experimental design, and communication. The course emphasizes a systems approach utilized in our technological society and mathematical rigor in gaining understanding of engineering and physics concepts.
