Every manufactured product and building starts with a design concept and technical drawings. Design Technology will introduce the student to the technical design and problem-solving process, practicing basic design principles, and analyzing how products are designed and built. Students will be introduced to technical drawing, the international language of industry while developing sketching and mechanical drawing skills in orthographic and pictorial drawings. Computer assisted design and drafting (CADD) will also be incorporated to introduce students to computer assisted drawing techniques commonly used in industry. Throughout the course, students will be required to build a drawing portfolio as a display and record of the skills they have developed.  Design Technology appeals to a wide variety of students and will provide essential skills for any students considering a career in engineering, technologies, or skilled trades.
