The Garnet Valley High School Technology Education Department is an area of study for students who wish to pursue careers centered around engineering, industrial processes, 3D modeling, manufacturing, robotics, and digital video communication. Course offerings center around the systems approach to design and offer students opportunities to demonstrate their learning through Problem-Based Design.
Courses apply the Design Process as the main means of identifying problems, developing criteria and constraints, generating solutions, and prototyping. Leadership skills, collaboration, project management, and documentation techniques are central themes throughout all courses. Level 1 courses provide students with the necessary skills needed for success in higher-level courses. Students who have previous experience should consult with the instructor to determine the appropriate level.
