Introduction to Technology Education
In 1992, the state mandated that by the completion of grade 8 all students
will be required to complete a minimum of one unit (40 weeks) of instruction
in Technology. This was start of the Technology Education program. The
program would shift emphasis of the traditional industrial arts curriculum
from learning to use tools and make products from woods, plastics and metals
to understanding systems of technology in the home and workplace. Systems
of technology in fields such as production, transportation, construction,
communications and agriculture will be emphasized.
Several modules of technology will be covered:
-Engineering Design -Tools,
Resoures and Technological Processes
-Computer Technology -Technological
Systems
-History, Evolution of Technology -Impacts of
Technology
-Management of Technology
