Principles of Technology II
Students apply physics and mathematics concepts to conduct experiments and tackle projects in this course. Focusing on seven technical principles: momentum, waves, energy converters, transducers, radiation, optical systems, and time constants, this course emphasizes how each plays a unifying role in the operation of mechanical, fluid, electrical, and thermal systems. This hands-on project approach to studying these technical principles provides a foundation for further education and career flexibility working with technology and technical systems. 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.
Notes
Course Sequences
A combination of this course and those below, equivalent to two 36-week courses, is a concentration sequence. Students wishing to complete a specialization may take additional courses based on their career pathways. A program completer is a student who has met the requirements for a CTE concentration sequence and all other requirements for high school graduation or an approved alternative education program.
