Program Description

Technology education includes the study of transportation, communication, manufacturing, construction, and engineering. The curriculum provides students with an opportunity to develop their career and vocational interests. Language Arts and Technological Literacy will be stressed while the students are engaged in activity-based learning. Students will develop critical thinking and problem solving skills through interdisciplinary learning activities involving science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Teamwork is emphasized whenever possible. The environmental, social, and political impacts of technology will be considered in all courses. Critical thinking skills learned in technology education are vital to all students, no matter what level of education and/or career path they intend to pursue.
