5980 Applied Communications
Applied Communications is an instructional program designed for students planning technical careers. Fifteen modules emphasize that the workplace requires various communications skills, which seldom occur in isolation. Each module includes a variety of reading, writing, speaking, listening, and problem-solving skills involved in the life and work situations presented.
5710 Blueprint Reading
This instructional program prepares individuals to "read" the many lines, symbols, conventions, and notes by means of which every detail of construction and materials is clearly indicated.
5704 Civil/Structural Drafting
This instructional program prepares individuals to develop detailed construction drawings, topographical profiles, and related maps and specification sheets for use in the planning and construction of highways, river and harbor improvements, flood-control structures, drainage structures, sanitation plants, and other structures. It includes instruction in computing the volume of excavation and fill tonnage and in preparing graphs and hauling diagrams for use in earth-moving operations.
5705 Computer-Aided Drafting/Design
This instructional program prepares individuals to use a computer, computer software, and peripheral devices to create an image or drawing in the design and documentation of an object.
5572 Computer Hardware, Electrical, and Networking Engineering
The Computer Hardware, Electrical, and Networking Engineering pathway provides learning opportunities for students interested in preparing for careers in the assembly, manufacturing, programming, design, production, and maintenance of information technology, computers telecommunications, and networking systems.
5701 Drafting Occupations
This instructional program prepares individuals for enrollment in advanced vocational and technical education programs or entry-level employment and includes occupational and basic technical information and laboratory experiences that are directly related to drafting in industry. The educational program may include two or more of the curriculum areas of mechanical/machine, architectural, civil/structural, piping, technical illustration, electrical/electronic, and topographical drawing.
5706 Electrical/Electronic Drafting
This instructional program prepares individuals to develop the working drawings and wiring diagrams used by construction and repair crews to install and repair the electrical equipment used in power plants, industrial establishments, and commercial or domestic buildings. It includes instruction in drafting the wiring and schematic diagrams and layout drawings that are used to manufacture, assemble, install, and repair electrical/electronic equipment such as television cameras, radio transmitters, receivers, audio amplifiers, computers, and related equipment.
5708 Piping Drafting
This industry-specific program teaches the techniques and develops the knowledge necessary to construct drawings for the piping industry. These assembly drawings are necessary for power plants, pumping plants, and heating and plumbing systems.
5975 Principles of Technology
Principles of Technology is a course designed for students planning technical careers. It includes 14 units presented over two years. Each of the 14 units deals with one principle as it applies in the four energy systems (mechanical, fluid, thermal, and electrical) that provide power for both simple and complex technological devices and equipment. The units also cover the mathematics needed to understand and apply the principles. They focus on work, rate, resistance, energy, power, and force transformers. The second year of instruction covers momentum, waves and vibrations, energy converters, transducers, radiation, optical systems, and time constraints. These studies complete the program.
5707 Technical Drafting
This instructional program prepares individuals to assist engineers in the development of detailed working drawings and related specifications for mechanical devices and machinery. It includes instruction in sketching rough layouts; drafting detailed multiview drawings; and analyzing compression, magnitude, direction, point of application of tension, and bending factors. Instruction is also included in compiling and analyzing test data to determine design effects on machinery in relation to temperature, pressure, speed, horsepower, and fuel consumption and in producing drawings that indicate dimensions, tolerances, fasteners, joining requirements, and other engineering data.
5709 Technical Illustration
This instructional program prepares individuals to present information graphically by means of schematics, sections, exploded views, and other techniques that illustrate or clarify oral or written descriptions.
5970 Technology Core, Level 1
This course represents a contextualized, laboratory-based, integrated curriculum opportunity for all high school students to learn about communication, transportation, energy, production, biotechnology, and integrated technology systems and processes that affect their lives. Students develop critical thinking skills through a variety of multimodal, problem-solving techniques. Integrated content focuses on demystifying technology; increasing student literacy, confidence, and competence in an age of rapidly advancing technology; and providing students with the basis for making wise academic and career choices.
5972 Technology Core, Level 2
This course represents a contextualized, laboratory-based, integrated curriculum opportunity for all high school students to learn about communication, transportation, energy, production, biotechnology, and integrated technology systems and processes that affect their lives. Students develop critical thinking skills through a variety of multimodal problem-solving techniques. Integrated content continues to focus on demystifying technology; increasing student literacy, confidence, and competence in an age of rapidly advancing technology; and providing students with the basis for making wise academic and career choices.
