Technology Courses TECH 1000 – Introduction to Technology TECH 1000 Introduction to Technology

This course presents learners with practical hands-on engagements to build skills in math, science, communications & technology, using a problem-solving, gy g p gcollaborative approach. Learners work in pairs or in teams, discovering underlying principles of technology & applying them through critical thinking, systems design, problem solving, & decision-making. Students will be introduced concepts such as self-assessment, portfolio creation & relating to the facilitator as a co-learner rather than an

1 Computer Graphics1. Computer Graphics Computer-aided painting, or bitmap graphics, deals with computerized images at the

pixel level. Activities include graphic arts work, scanned images, page layout, digital photography, animation, image capture, movie animation & special effects. Computer-Aided Drawing (CAD) “thinks” in terms of objects (as opposed to pi els) Connections to c rric l m co ld be as simple as meas rement areapixels). Connections to curriculum could be as simple as measurement, area, architectural drawing, landscape design, illustration, engineering drafting, mechanical drafting & mechanical design.

2. Science & Data Acquisition Learners use software to collect & analyze data then use their analyses to makeLearners use software to collect & analyze data, then use their analyses to make

predictions & create scale models. Learners collect data from their work with a wind tunnel, an interactive strength challenger stress testing device & probeware.

3. Control Technology This is one of the more advanced islands in the lab. Learners simulate complex p

mechanical processes with fischertechnik & LASY components & control them with a computer interface & custom written programs. These learning engagements expose the learners to logical programming & systems thinking.

4 Circuitry (Electric & Pneumatic)4. Circuitry (Electric & Pneumatic) Learners compare circuitry as it is used in pneumatics & electricity. The skills &

knowledge they obtain here can be used in animatronics, control technology & electronics.

5. PublishinggThis island encompasses everything learners need to know about word processing

& desktop publishing, including scanners, digital photography, QuickTime video, video manipulation, timelining & integrating graphics.

6. Computer SimulationLearners use software to play out long-term scenarios to study cause-and-effect in

simulated cities, flight & other scientific models. 7. Physical Simulation

The technology in this island introduces learners to simple machines & the principles of mechanics gear rations structure & parts of machines Math science &of mechanics, gear rations, structure & parts of machines. Math, science & physics are emphasized.

8. MultimediaLearners create interactive presentations with advanced software & begin to

combine the elements they have learned in previous lab experiences
