This
course will enable students to further
develop technological literacy skills
and should be offered as an integral
component of the core school curriculum.
Integrated academics combined with
a hands-on program of study that
teaches about the development and
applications of technology and the
effects technology has on individuals,
society and the environment. This
course integrates the three (3)
Gateway courses throughout the learning
expectations and is articulated
in all of the sample performance
tasks. It is suggested that Innovations
and Inventions be implemented at
the ninth grade and offered as an
integral component of the core school
curriculum to all students. This
course teaches students how to use,
manage, process and assess technology
in a contextual learning environment.
It is designed as a foundation problem-solving
course for students in the ninth
grade. This is a one-year course
and will give the student the knowledge
needed to succeed in Technological
Systems.

|
|
| This
is an overview course designed to
introduce students to the application
of technology to solve problems
and meet human needs and wants.
Laboratory experiences are focused
on the technology systems of bio-related
technology, communication, computer
applications, construction, energy,
power, transportation, and manufacturing.
Students will study concepts about
technological systems and the influences
these systems have at home, in communities,
and at work. The content of the
course includes, but is not limited
to, the study of systems of technology,
application of technology, design/problem
solving, evolving technologies,
safety, maintenance, entrepreneurship,
leadership, careers, and marketing. |

| Description: |
|
|
|
|
| This
is an overview course that introduces
students to the concepts and practices
that underlie careers in engineering
and engineering technology. The
course integrates STEM (Science,
Technology Engineering and Mathematics)
into pre-engineering activities.
Students acquire knowledge and skills
in engineering problem solving and
explore requirements for engineering
careers. The purpose of Engineering
Processes is to expose students
to project-based learning activities
using advanced mathematics, design,
pre-engineering concepts, use of
time studies and problem solving
using both classroom and on-line
materials. Students will also be
required to perform research and
upper level literacy in technology
engineering education. This course
is designed to provide information
and experiences to help students
adapt themselves to the workforce
and the changing demands that will
be placed on the engineering workforce
in the 21st century. It will help
students develop skills in problem
solving, teamwork, time management,
computer skills, and engineering
systems. |

| Description: |
|
|
|
|
| This
is a research course which allows
students to develop advanced technical
knowledge and skills by solving
problems in one or more of the technology
systems: communication, computer
applications, construction, energy,
power, transportation, manufacturing,
and bio-related technology. In this
research course, students develop
and apply the knowledge and skills
gained in previous courses to identify
and resolve relevant problems. This
course is designed to give students
the opportunity to synthesize and
apply knowledge and skills gained
in several courses and apply the
skills to new situations. The course
integrates mathematics, science,
language arts, and social studies
competencies in a contextual setting
using Project-Based Learning Activities
as performance tasks. A culminating
research/project report is required
to satisfactorily complete this
research course. |

| Note:
Cooperative Education is a paid,
credit generating, work-based learning
component. |
| Credit
for Cooperative Education is earned
through the appropriate CTE class
in which the student is enrolled
for a maximum of one additional
credit per semester. Students must
work a minimum of ten (10) hours
per week to earn the additional
one credit in class. Student accounting
is documented through the Cooperative
Methodology/Supervision Period course
code. |
