Welcome to my Computer/Technological Studies Course website. On here you will find links to assignments, class notes, upcoming events, projects and more.
There are three courses offered in Computer Engineering at St. Jean de Brebeuf; Grade 10 Computer Technology (TEJ2O1), Grade 11 Computer Engineering Technology (TEJ3M1), and Grade 12 Computer Engineering Technology (TEJ4M1). In addition, we are running Intro to Computer Studies (ICS2O1).
The Grade 10 (TEJ2O1) course touches upon the principals of electronics, fundamental computer concepts, computer hardware and operating systems, an introduction to computer programming, and computer networks.
The Grade 11 (TEJ3M1) course focuses more in depth on the topics of electronics, computer hardware, computer networking, and operating systems and covers more advanced topics than the Grade 10 course. Some of the projects include: Traffic Light Model Simulation, PC Controlled RC Car, Movie Ticket Program, Operating System installations, circuit building and design, and network cabling and design.
The Grade 12 (TEJ4M1) course expands upon the knowledge gained in the Grade 10 and 11 courses, as well as introduces Robotics. One of the major projects in the Grade 12 course is building an autonomous Infrared Line Following Robot. The Grade 12 course covers more advanced electronics and robotics, and is a great course for those who are particularly interested in careers in Electronics or Information Technology.
This year we have expanded our Engineering courses by adding PCB Design and Manufacturing to the course. Students will use software to design their own PCB's from a circuit diagram they create, and will learn the manufacturing process used to create the PCB. In addition, we have added a Microntollers Unit. Students will have the opportunity to learn about and program industry standard Picaxe Microcontrollers and use them in a variety of projects including Control and Robotic systems.
The Grade 10 (ICS2O1) Computer Science Course is an Introductory Course to Computer Programming. Students will study basic programming concepts (loops, variables, conditional statements, etc) and apply them to the deisgn of their own programs. Some of the languages studied are: Java, Visual Basic 2005, Turing, and HTML. In addition, the course touches upon the basics of computer hardware, Operating Systems, and computer networking.
Information Technology, Robotics, and Electronics are amongst some of the fastest growing industries today. Almost all sectors in the workforce somehow rely on the use of technology in one way or another, and there is a great demand for professionals in this fun and exciting field.
I encourage all students to take at least one computer course throughout their high school career. Many colleges and universities offer programs which require that students take some computer related courses. Technological literacy is no longer a "nice to have" skill, it is a "must have" skill.
