Prerequisite Recommendation: None
This course is intended to teach students to apply the skills, concepts, and principles of problem-solving design. Through hands-on projects students will be exposed to a variety of different units, including environmental engineering, 3D modeling/design, structural designing, as well as learning about different modes of transportation and vehicles. Due to the variety of topics offered in this course, Introduction to Technology and Engineering Education will act as a prerequisite course for other Technology and Engineering classes offered to students.

Prerequisite Recommendation: Fundamentals of Engineering and Technology
In this hands-on, activity-based course, students will explore a variety of transportation systems and the power and energy systems associated with them. Students will use the "Technological Design Process" to master these concepts through various projects including, but not limited to, magnetic levitation trains, mouse trap cars, model rocketry, boat hull design, marble mazes, and CO2 dragsters. Students in this course will also gain skills and practical experience working safely with the basic tools and machines found in the materials lab.
