Course Description:
Industrial Technology Education I is a dynamic program of student activity in a laboratory setting that brings (a) attainment of industrial-technologies occupations; and (b) satisfaction of student’s personal needs including discovery of self as related to industry and technology. Students can choose from 20 self-directed, basic technology modules: (1) Robotics, (2) Precision Measure, (3) Building Construction, (4) NAO – Humanoid Robotics, (5) Digital Photography, (6) CAD Engineering 3D, (7) Laser Engraving, (8) Digital Video Production, (9) Welding, (10) Drafting, (11) Research & Design, (12) Materials Processing, (13) Engineering Structures, (14) Four-Stroke Engine, (15) Digital Audio Production, (16) Digital Music, (17) Digital Manufacturing, (18) Basic Electronics, (19) Programming Basics, and (20) Global Positioning Systems. Students are able to expand their knowledge of technology and develop leadership skills through the participation in the Barnwell High School Technology Student Association (TSA).
Students design and construct CO2 dragsters while working in the Research & Design Module. Calculations for drag along with performance of solving problems associated with wheel balance, alignment, and friction are completed by each student.
In the picture below, students learn about radio-control technology while designing, constructing, and modifying their cardboard robots. Students work in groups of two while learning how servo motors work, the concept of Pulse Width Modulation (PWM), and transmitter use while solving problems.
