Technology and Engineering Foundations
In this minds-on, hands-on technology and engineering education course, students will develop design thinking skills and learn about how and why technology works by designing, building, and controlling objects and systems, using a variety of tools. Through this course, students will gain content and practice knowledge about materials, energy, and engineering processes. This introductory course is a prerequisite for Technology Transfer and Technology Assessment.
Contextual instruction and student participation in co-curricular career and technical student organization (CTSO) activities will develop leadership, interpersonal, and career skills. High-quality work-based learning (HQWBL) will provide experiential learning opportunities related to students' career goals and/or interests, integrated with instruction, and performed in partnership with local businesses and organizations.
