Technology
The Technology cluster is comprised of four majors - CAD/Drafting, Business Technology, Electronics/Robotics, and Engineering Technology.
CAD/Drafting
The CAD/Drafting program introduces the student to the use of drafting instruments, measuring, line work, geometric construction, orthographic projection, sketching, isometric drawing and perspective drawing. Students progress to drawing layout, multi-view drawings, sectioning, auxiliary views, assembly drawings and model making. A major part of the curriculum includes computer-aided drafting using AutoCAD, Solidworks and Revit software to produce drawings on the computer.
Electronics/Robotics
Students will learn the basic principles of analog and digital electronics with emphasis on AC and DC circuits, solid state devices, and digital circuits. Students also perform laboratory experiments that require prototyping, circuit assembly, and soldering skills. Students integrate these skills by building various electronic projects and kits that reflect real-world applications. Students also design and build ro- botic projects using computers and robotics software which progresses from basic programming levels up to more challenging ones.
Engineering Technology
Engineering Technology is a new program for students interested in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). The focus of the exploratory program will be to introduce students to engineering concepts and principles, as well as to address the requirements and opportunities for students interested in a career in Engineering/STEM related fields. The coursework will provide students a rigorous and comprehensive curriculum including exposure to various engineering disciplines, and a strong foundation in Science and Mathematics to ensure success for students planning on a post high school program in a two or four year college or university. Project Lead The Way (PLTW) is the foundation of the program. PLTW is recognized worldwide.
