Technology and Engineering Education is all about application and real life problem solving.

Ride into the future with Technology and learn skills that will apply to a skilled labor/work force.

Photography is an introduction to basic concepts and techniques directly related to the photography field. Students have an opportunity to learn techniques in taking a higher quality photographs and applying techniques of using a digital camera.

Students will also be learning to apply skills and techniques in photoshop and learning to edit photographs on the computer. Students will learn to use Adobe Photoshop to create multiple exposure compositions. This allows a photographer to put together seperate exposures to create a professional photograph. It will also teach students advanced concepts in using editing software as foundation for those who want to continue developing their skills in photoshop.

Introduction to basic drafting skills.  This class is aimed towards introducing students to a field that has many options and career paths that can be applied from this class.   Students learn concepts that can be carried into many post secondary fields and can help students find a very active and hands-on career choice that has many aspects of work in the field (job site) or in an active work environment.  Students can go on from this course and take the upper level engineering courses that can be applied to all engineering and skilled careers. 

Students learn to apply:

Board Drafting Skills

Autodesk CADD Software

Solid Modeling

BIM Modeling

Plot Plans and Elevation Site Development

Engineering Problem Solving

Design Process

Three D Printing and Prototyping skills

CNC Applications and Designs

Foundation to Engineering is becoming a stronger course with new exciting fun projects that are giving students a fun new learning style in the classroom and solving real life problems. 
Take a look at this exciting course in the course description guide.  Students who are thinking of engineering as a career should give considerable thought to taking this course.

Technical Drawing 2 takes students to the next level of applying skills in solid modeling and development in drafting.  Students apply skills previously learned in Technical Drawing 1, but apply a more in-depth real life problem solving skills.

Solid Modeling is Awesome and the Technology and what is available is Incredible.

Students will be working with lazer engraver, cnc routers, and three dimensional printers.  Students can use this technology in their projects and learn to apply technology to solve real life problems.

Looking for a Hands-on classroom setting??  Thinking that Engineering or Architecture could be a career for you?

Architecture is a great class to take if you think the above could be you.  This one year hands-on course teaches students  to problem solve design issues and work on a project using real techinques in the workforce.  Students will get an introduction to planning, preperation, IRC Codes, and environmental impacts. 

Possibilities are endless in this field and there are many options to choose from in this industry.  Check out this class.

This couse is an andvance course for students who have had previous success in one of the other engineering course or drafting courses that are offered at the High School.  Students should have some experience with drawing software and understanding the design model to solve real life problems.  The course uses the bases that everthing around us has been designed and made by human beings to make life better for us.  Some of these designs are new to fix existing problems and some of them are designed to make improvements to existing designs.

Students will get the opportunity in class to create a design or improvement in area of interest.  They will go through a problem solving design model.  This will guide students in defining a problem, generating concepts, choosing a design, building a prototype and testing the design.  Throughout this a portfolio and a design brief will focus the students to build an effective design and research materials and cost that would be a contributing factor.  This class offers to teach students concepts in research and design.

Students will also be exposed to understanding material properties, fasteners, gears, and design software for prototyping their designs.  It will also give students a chance to work with three d printers, laser engravers, and cnc applications.  Students may also need to work with manufacturing and design companies outside of school to help build their designs, which will teach students how to approach and work with people in the industrial world to reach their goals.  

This particular course gives students the opportunity to understand the difference between a Civil Engineers and an Architectural Engineer.  Students will be introduced to concepts and problems that a civil engineer would face on a job site as well as problems with designs of a structure or mechanical system that an Architectural Engineer would have to design and solve.  There are also many other disciplines that are taught or looked at through the course that may help students choose an individual career path after school.  This may include some of the following: Designers, Mechanical, Structural, Electrical, HVAC, and other careers that apply to the creation and design of structures that we live in and work in everyday.

Students will also engage in learning about Building Informaion Modeling (BIM) and how it can be used to model a building on the computer and look at the building as if is already been built and use the virtual software to walk around a building and look for areas that my need to be fixed or issues that could come up during Construction and raise the cost of the building.  The Revit software that we use is a main stay for commercial and residential buildings to show independent contractors what they are to be doing in areas of the building and potential problems that arise between contractors.  The software is also applied to scheduling, demolition, material schedules, and many other generating tables that are needed to complete a project.

This course is for students that are interested in a career in Engineering.  The particular field or branch of engineering that is of interest does not matter, because we are focusing on problem solving and looking at techniques to making life improvements.
