● This course prepares students to understand and apply technological concepts and processes that are the cornerstone of the high school technology education program.
● Students study the nature and technological issues of the designed world.
● Group and individual activities involve developing innovations and designing, fabricating, and engineering practical solutions to a variety of problems.
● Technology content, resources, and laboratory/classroom activities allow students to apply science, mathematics, and other school subjects in authentic situations.
