MATH
What is Technology?
• the application of knowledge, tools, and
resources to extend our human capabilities in
order to solve problems that will meet our
needs and wants
What is Engineering?
• to systematically apply mathematical,
scientific, and technical principles to design
and create real-world solutions that meet our
needs and desires.
What is Technology & Engineering
Education?
• We educate students to be technologically
literate
• Guides students in learning how to utilize
knowledge, creativity, and critical thinking to
solve real-world problems.
Technology & Engineering
Education
• Course Selection:
– Foundations of Technology (FOT)
– Advanced Design Applications (ADA)
– Advanced Technical Applications
– Engineering Design
• Project Lead the Way Course Selection:
– Introduction to Engineering Design (IED)
– Principals of Engineering (POE)
– Digital Electronics (DE)
– Engineering Design and Development (EDD)
Foundations of Technology
• This course prepares students to understand
and apply technological concepts and
processes that are cornerstone of the high
school technology education program.
• Students study the nature and technological
issues of the “designed world”.
Foundations of Technology
• Group and individual activities engage
students in creating ideas, developing
innovations, design, fabricating, and
engineering practical solutions.
• Technology content, resources, and
laboratory/classroom activities allow students
to apply science, mathematics and other
school subjects in authentic situations.
Advanced Design Applications
• ADA is a standards based, technological design
course that provides a deeper understanding
of the designed world consisting of four
separate learning units, each nine weeks in
length: Manufacturing, Energy and Power,
Construction, and Transportation
technologies.
Advanced Design Applications
• Group and individual activities engage
students in creating ideas, developing
innovation, design, fabrication, and
engineering practical solutions to a variety of
problems.
Advanced Technical Applications
• ATA is a standards based, technological design
course that provides a deeper understanding
of the designed world consisting of four
separate learning units, each nine weeks in
length: Medical, Information &
Communication, Bio-Related, and
Entertainment technologies.
Engineering Design
• This course provides a foundation for a variety
of engineering and technical careers such as
mechanical, electrical, civil and aerospace
engineering.
• Topics may include simple and complex
machines, electricity and electronics,
structural design and analysis, and
thermodynamics.
Engineering Design
• Students will solve engineering problems
through mechanical drawing and prototype
construction and testing in a multi-sensory
laboratory setting.
PLTW: Introduction to Engineering
Design
• IED is a course through which students are
introduced to the area of industrial technical
communications. Students learn to develop
and read drawings used in technical fields to
describe size and shape; manufacturing,
assembly, and repair procedures.
PLTW: Introduction to Engineering
Design
• Students develop skills with organization and
planning as they analyze problems and
synthesize solutions. Through this course
students will gain skills for entry into college
and university engineering programs or
technical schools.
PLTW: Principles of Engineering
• POE is a “hands on course” that helps the
student understand the field of engineering
and engineering technology. Students design,
construct, test, and evaluate various projects
that apply knowledge and skills.
PLTW: Principles of Engineering
• Students explore various technology systems
and manufacturing processes to learn how
engineers and technicians apply math,
science, and technology in an engineering
problem-solving process.
