Principles of Technology I
Students conduct experiments and tackle projects in this single-period laboratory science course to apply physics and mathematics concepts. Students study seven technical principles: force, work, rate, resistance, energy, power, and force transformers, examining how each principle plays a unifying role in the operation of mechanical, fluid, electrical, and thermal systems in technology equipment and systems. This hands-on project approach to studying technical principles provides a foundation for further education and career readiness. 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.
