TDJ 3R: Grade 11 Robotics

This course examines how technological design within the subject area of robotics, is influenced by human, environmental, financial, and material requirements and resources.   Students will research, design, build, and assess solutions that meet specific human needs, using working drawings and other communication methods to present their design ideas.

TDJ 4R: Grade 12 Robotics

This course will present students with complex design challenges that push the boundaries of their creative and technical abilities. Building on the skills acquired in previous grades, students will use advanced tools, technologies, and materials to prototype and construct intricate robotic systems. The course encourages students to adopt an interdisciplinary approach by integrating concepts from physics, engineering, and computer science.

Computer Engineering

Computer Engineering is a course that focuses on the connection between ‘Hardware’ and ‘Software’.  This challenging program starts with an introduction to electronics in grade 10, computer repair and networking which includes a computer interfacing culminating project.  Senior grades use C programing to explore computer electronics through PIC micro-controllers.  Micro-controllers are used in all modern electronic devices and are a industry standard. Included are web and mobile apps. This course is design to give engineering students a leg up on the competition in University and College.



TEJ 2O: Computer Technology

This Grade 10 course introduces students to computer systems, networking, and interfacing, as well as electronics and robotics. Students will assemble, repair, and configure computers with various types of operating systems and application software. Students will build small electronic circuits and write computer programs to control simple peripheral devices or robots. 

TEJ 3M: Computer Engineering Tech

The Grade 11 course examines computer systems and control of external devices. Students will assemble computers and networks by installing and configuring appropriate hardware and software. Students will develop skills in electronics, robotics, programming, and networks, and will build systems that use computer programs and interfaces to control and/or respond to external devices. 

TEJ 4M: Computer Engineering Tech

The Grade 12 course extends students' understanding of computer systems and computer interfacing with external devices. Students will assemble computer systems by installing and configuring appropriate hardware and software, and will learn more about fundamental concepts of electronics, robotics, programming, and networks.
