Introduction to Technology Education

In 1992, the state mandated that by the completion of grade 8 all students will be required to complete a minimum of one unit (40 weeks) of instruction in Technology. This was start of the Technology Education program.  The program would shift emphasis of the traditional industrial arts curriculum from learning to use tools and make products from woods, plastics and metals to understanding systems of technology in the home and workplace. Systems of technology in fields such as production, transportation, construction, communications and agriculture will be emphasized.

Several modules of technology will be covered:
-Engineering Design                                                -Tools, Resoures and Technological Processes
-Computer Technology                                            -Technological Systems
-History, Evolution of Technology                            -Impacts of Technology
-Management of Technology
