TECHNOLOGY FOUNDATIONS
(1 Block, 1 Semester)
Pre-Requisite: None
This course allows students to acquire a foundation in technological material, energy and information, and apply processes associated with the technological thinker. Challenged by laboratory activities, students create new ideas and innovations, build systems, and analyze technological products to further understand how and why techno1ogv works. They work in groups to build and control systems with engineering in the development of a technology.
TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER
(1 Block, 1 Semester)
Pre-Requisite: Technology Foundations
Students work with a variety of computers, materials and systems to improve their skills and knowledge. Groups, working together, apply math, science and communication concepts, on a project that combines systems such as production, energy, communication, transportation, and other technologies. Thematic activities engage students in problems where they transfer the technological method to various environmental and industrial applications.
TECHNOLOGY OF ROBOTIC DESIGN
(1 Block, 1 Semester)
Pre-Requisite: Technology Foundations and Technology Transfer
Students engage in the study of computers and microprocessors and their applications to manufacturing, transportation, and communication systems. Topics include computer equipment and operating systems, robotics, programming, control systems, and social/cultural impact of these technologies. Problem-solving activities challenge students to design, program, and interface devices with computer systems. Learning activities include robotics, computer-aided design, computer-aided manufacturing and design, and control of electromechanical devices.
