The Technology Education Program, which is an integral part of occupational education, is a transformation of the Industrial Arts Program. Technology Education is a program of instruction designed to develop an understanding of systems in fields such as production, construction, energy and communications by emphasizing applied activities by working with tools, machines and devices used in the home and the work place. The focus of the program will be on promoting an understanding of the impact of technology on society, and developing the perception that people have both the capacity and the responsibility to control technology.
 
Through hands-on activities, which stress the application of mathematical and scientific concepts, Technology Education can help to clarify and reinforce basic skills, and bridge the gap between theory and practice.

Design and Drawing for Production {t square}
 
This course emphasizes creative problem solving, designing, and technical drawing. Emphasis is based on the approach used in business and industry to develop new products. Students develop solutions that are researched, sketched, refined and rendered as technical drawings. Basic elements of design and the six basic areas of technical drawing are included.

Material Processing {pliers} {hammer}
 
 
This course provides a broad, generic view of the way raw materials are processed into useful products. Various methods of processing are explored: they include forming, separating, combining and conditioning. Students investigate these processing concepts through hands-on activities using a variety of materials.

Technical Drawing {dividers} {templates}
 
 
This course, a continuation of DDP, teaches higher level concepts and principles of technical drawing. Topics include orthographic multi - view drawings, pictorial three - dimensional drawings, projection, size description, and pictorial representation. Also included are techniques for developing drawing and the tools used to construct them.

Electricity / Electronics {tubes} {soldering}
 
This course is a study in electrical theory, measurement and practical applications. Topics include electrical sources, circuits and power, magnetism and motors. Students will also be introduced to electronic theory, measurement and application. Topics will include electronic components, measuring instruments, semi-conductors, integrated circuits, radio and television transmission and reception. Hands on activities will be used to further students' understanding. Safety issues will be covered throughout the course.

Creative Problem Solving through Model Building
{thinking} {gears}
 
 
This course emphasizes creative problem solving through model building. Students will use research and development techniques as well as different design and construction methods. Students will use the 7 steps of the problem solving method to create ingenious solutions to the various hands-on activities provided. These include mousetrap vehicles, Lego robots, MagLev cars, and balsawood model airplanes.
