This course and Technology Student Association technical and leadership activities enhance skills essential for students interested in technical and engineering career fields. Prerequisite: General Technology Education and associated NHS Engineering Academy.
Engineering Lab I Grade: 11
951615 Credit: 1
Engineering Lab I is designed to teach students technical skills in a variety of engineering areas, including electrical, pneumatic, geographical information systems, manufacturing processes, design, thermal systems, robotics, and structural systems. Students will rotate through these areas and will eventually use their knowledge to design a group engineering project. Prerequisite: General Technology Education, Drafting I, and associated NHS Engineering Academy.
Engineering Lab II Grade: 12
951625 Credit: 1
Engineering Lab II is a continuation of Engineering Lab I, where students will continue developing their skills in the areas of manufacturing processes, design, robotics, and thermal systems. Students will also be introduced to the new areas of architectural design, computer control technology, and plastics technology. Prerequisite: Drafting I, Engineering Lab I, and associated NHS Engineering Academy.
General Technology Education Grade 9-12
951124 Credit: 1
General Technology Education is a hands-on approach to various innovative forms of modern technology and is designed for both males and females of all high-school classifications. The first two six-week periods involve classroom study of the major areas of technology, The remainder of the year is spent in a modular computer lab where the student will receive introductory training in areas such as robotics, desktop publishing, electronics, computer numeric control, computer animation, architectural design, CAD, flight simulation, writing and design, meteorology, and computer-assisted health care. The course is designed for students who wish to enhance their knowledge of modern technology. No prior computer experience is necessary.
Industrial Technology Applications Grade 9-12
951154 Credit: 1
The Industrial Technology Applications course offers a broad exploratory technology experience to the students. Those taking this course will be provided with the hardware, software, and curriculum materials necessary for a complete learning experience in areas such as Computer Applications and Investigation, Computer Troubleshooting and Maintenance, Digital Photography and Web Page Design, Materials, and Processes, Construction Technology, Mechanisms, Electronics, and Automotive Technology. Upon successful completion of this course, each student should have basic knowledge of each of these areas, as well as a better understanding of possible career paths that would be suited to their individual interests and abilities.
Technology Education Internship I Grade 11-12
951654 Credit: 2
These courses are designed to provide Technology Education students an opportunity to apply learned skills in the workplace. Paid or non-paid internships are provided in the student’s related field of study. The students have the opportunity to explore a single potential technology education career or a combination of technology careers they may be considering. Emphasis will be placed on developing interpersonal skills, work ethics, and relevant skills of the workplace and an understanding of the selected career field of study. Oral and written communication skills are reinforced in this course as the student completes his workplace experience. Opportunities for application of clinical and leadership skills are provided by participation in the appropriate student organization through activities, conferences, and skills competitions. Prerequisite: Completed at least two courses in the Technology Education program of study area.
