This is the third year course in the Engineering Pathway of the Engineering and Technology Education Program at PHS in which students apply skills learned in math, science, communication arts, and social studies classes, while building on their experiences in the first year course. A student must have successfully completed the Introduction to Technology and the Pre-Engineering Technology courses and be recommended by the teacher to take this class. This class continues to utilize various teaching strategies and whole class, small group, paired, and individual activities to further introduce the scope of contemporary workplace technologies and practices.
Students will complete and document modules in the categories of Communications, Bio-Related Technologies, Production, and Energy, Power & Transportation. Then they will complete advanced module activities in a selected area and a specialization project and presentation. Additionally, the course includes a “culminating activity” in which students use all of their modular skills to design, develop, manufacture, and market a product.
The learner will:
1. Obtain a well-rounded, broad base of knowledge in as many areas of technology as possible.
2. Develop an area of specialized interest in which they have done extensive work.
3. Demonstrate exceptional communication skills and be able to make presentations to their peers and supervisors.
4. Develop an understanding of technological impacts on society.
5. Function safely and ethically in the work environment.
6. Complete designated assignments and meet deadlines in a group and or individualized environment.
7. Understand the organized process of problem solving and its applications.
8. Understand how to use the computer as a tool and resource.
9. Develop leadership, communication, and competitive skills through co-curricular Career/Technical Education student organization activities.
