Technology and Construction
Technology and Construction is a project based course that combines aspects of science, technology, engineering and math to introduce students to the world of construction technology as it relates to problem solving challenges and the engineering design process. Students must complete Technology and the Design Process as a prerequisite to this course. Students will further develop skills they learned in previous technology courses with which to identify a problem and work toward possible solutions using the design process. They will be exposed to different materials, tools, machines and furniture manufacturing and construction principles. Students will read, study and research about different furniture styles and designs and how this technology has evolved over the years with new materials.

Students will learn to apply critical thinking, decision-making and problem solving skills as individuals and/or teams to develop solutions to the various challenges. They will learn how to apply their knowledge from math and science classes and use it along with the materials and tools to design and build functional projects. Students will also learn how to communicate with team members and work safely as a team while producing their work. Upon completion of this course, students will have acquired the knowledge to better understand and appreciate quality craftsmanship and design. This knowledge will make the student a more educated consumer with a better understanding of technology and how it affects the world in which we live. The knowledge and skills developed here will enable them to integrate problem solving principles into real world situations in future work and life challenges.
