Principles of Technology I
Description:
This course provides a hands-on approach to understanding the fundamental principles and concepts of physics and associated mathematics. Emphasis is placed on understanding mechanical, electrical, fluid, and thermal systems as they relate to work, force, rate, resistance, energy, and power. Activities are structured to integrate science, mathematics, and language arts. Work-based learning strategies appropriate for this course include job shadowing and field trips. This course and TSA technical and leadership activities enhance the skills of students interested in pursuing technical, engineering, or science related careers. Algebra I and Fundamentals of Technology are recommended prerequisites.
