Technological Education

Courses Offered in Technological Education

Technological Education at York Mills offers students courses where they can learn about woodworking, the design process, architecture, computer-aided design (CAD), electronics, digital logic and computer engineering. We have several computer labs, a large wood shop with a variety of tools including two CNC machines and a VEX robotics team that runs as an extracurricular club.

Tech Ed allows students to work in a project based learning environment, using the design process, building skills and enjoying being able to build something hands-on!

Course Descriptions

Computer engineering Technology (cLICK ME)

TEJ3M1 / Grade 11

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

Prerequisite: None. Highly recommended to have taken ICD2O1 in order to know coding concepts for Arduino.

TEJ4M1 / Grade 12

This course extends students’ understanding of computer systems and computer interfacing with external devices. Students will learn more about fundamental concepts of digital logic, electronics, robotics, programming, and networks. Projects will include working with the Arduino microcontroller and C programming, building digital circuits to accomplish arithmetic and logic operations as well as controlling motors and using sensors.

Prerequisite: TEJ3M1

EXPLORING TECHNOLOGIES

TIJ1O1 / Grade 9

TIJ1O1 explores and develops technological knowledge and skills through the design and creation of products in various technological areas. This includes graphic, package and architectural design, computer hardware and electronics. Learning is largely hands-on and project based. Students will develop an awareness of environmental and societal issues, and will explore secondary and postsecondary education and training pathways leading to careers in technology-related fields.

Prerequisite: None

TECHNOLOGICAL design

TDJ2O1 / Grade 10

This course provides students with opportunities to solve problems in design through and to apply a design process to meet a variety of technological challenges. Students will research projects, create designs, build models and/or prototypes, and assess products and/or processes using appropriate tools, techniques, and strategies.

Student projects include designs for ridges, robotic arms, or other products. Students will develop an awareness of environmental and societal issues related to technological design, and will learn about secondary and postsecondary education and training leading to careers in the field

TECHNOLOGICAL design

TDJ3M1 / Grade 11

This course examines how technological design is influenced by human, environmental, financial, 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. At York Mills we focus on CAD design and building models in the classroom and/or projects in the shop.

Prerequisite: None

TDJ4M1 / Grade 12

Students will apply a systematic design process to research, design, build, and assess solutions that meet specific human needs, using illustrations, presentation drawings, and other communication methods to present their designs. Students will enhance their problem-solving and communication skills, and will explore career opportunities and the postsecondary education and training requirements for them. Students will learn woodworking skills and build projects in the shop.

Prerequisite: TDJ3M1
