Technology & Engineering Education
Technology and Engineering Education is an applied education program that relies on project-based learning to prepare students to be technologically literate. Through participation in hands-on experiences in various technical environments, students will see the connection that exists between technology, math, science, and engineering concepts. They will also utilize the design process to effectively solve “real-world” problems. Technology education courses are both required and elective. One Basic Technology Education credit is required for graduation.
Basic Technology & engineering Courses
Engineering Design (1/2 Credit)
Build projects to solve engineering design challenges using the design process.
Practical Programming (1/2 Credit)
