Grade 9
Integrated
Technology TTI1O
Inventions, aviation, robotics, maintenance
and renovations construction are explored in this course. Students will prepare
for their future career development or prepare to be "everyday"
consumers in integrated technologies. This course requires students to design,
develop and build usable products and/or deliver services that demonstrate an
understanding of both computer and technological concepts, providing a basis
for further technological studies. Student learning will include the use of the
technological design process, problem solving, a variety of tools and software
to complete projects and enhance their communication skills.
Technological Design
TDJ2O
This course requires students to design and develop innovative products and
services. Students will learn the following: how to identify user needs related
to specific design problems; the physical properties of selected materials and
their application in product design; techniques to create physical products and
services; various presentation techniques; how to test and evaluate design
solutions; and the implications of technology on the development of products or
services. They will also become aware of the design-related careers.
Communications Technology TGJ2O
This course requires students to complete
a range of communications technology projects. These may include creating
printed stationary, short videos, computer-generated animations, and graphical
information displays. Students will learn to transfer information using
electronic, live, and graphic communications methods. The knowledge and skills
they will develop will provide a basis for careers in areas such as publishing,
advertising, print production, animation, photography, and journalism.
Construction
Technology
TCJ201
This course requires students to design,
build, and evaluate projects using design instruments and machine and hand
tools. Students will solve technological problems through a variety of media;
identify and describe building materials and other resources needed to
construct, maintain, and service buildings; identify support systems and
components; apply safety rules related to materials, processes, and equipment;
identify common architectural styles; and identify careers related to
construction technology.
Grade 11
Construction Technology TCJ3C1
This course focuses on residential and light construction systems related to
commercial, industrial, and/or recreational construction. Students will learn
about the tools, materials, equipment, and methods used in the light
construction industry; structural analysis and design; presentation and working
drawings; and auxiliary systems. They will also estimate materials and labor
costs; study industry standards and building codes; consider health and safety
issues and energy conservation; and explore careers and the impact of
construction technology on society and the environment.
.
Technological Design TDJ3M1
This course provides students with opportunities to apply the principles of
technological design to challenges in communications, manufacturing,
electronics, transportation, architecture, industrial and consumer products,
health and safety equipment, and environmental services. Students will identify
user needs, estimate labor and material costs, analyze material
characteristics, and illustrate design solutions, using traditional and
computer-based methods. They will also acquire the basic design skills required
for post-secondary studies in engineering, manufacturing, architecture, and
construction.
If you like hands on projects and/or you have never experienced the fun taking
a tech course, this course is for you!
Communications
Technology TGJ3M1
Grade 11, University/College Preparation Credit
This course examines communications systems and design and production processes
in the areas of electronic, live, recorded, and graphic communications. Students
will develop knowledge and skills relating to the assembly, operation,
maintenance, and repair of the basic and more complex components of a range of
communications systems. Students will also study industry standards and
regulations and health and safety issues, and will explore careers, the
importance of lifelong learning, and the impact of communications technology on
society and the environment.
Prerequisite: None
Grade 12
