Title of Planned Instruction:
Introduction to Technology Education II |
| Subject Area:
Science and Technology
Grade Level:
9-12 |
| Prerequisites: Technology
Education I
Course Description: This courses allows students to expand their experiences in materials not
covered in Introduction to Technology I. These areas of study could be forging,
foundry, welding, art metal, model rockets, CO2 dragsters,
robotics, model airplane production, model bridges, energy projects, plastics,
and decorative iron. A student-operated company will also produce a
student-oriented product. Students will be doing several required projects and
will be responsible for expenses.
Required Time: One semester
Course Credit: 0.5
