Technology Education 9 Course Outline
Technology 9 is designed for students to use a hands on approach to learning. Technology Education 9 is divided among four modules. Communication Technology, Energy Engineering, Inventions and Innovations, and Production Technology are designed to encourage project based learning. Students will have an opportunity to create design solutions as a way of achieving outcomes in each of the modules. As well, students will be introduced to the Design Process which will promote and engage students in solving technological problems that apply to authentic situations.
Assessment
Assessment of the course material will be conducted following the assessment and evaluation processes described below:
Assessment is the process of gathering, from a variety of sources, information that accurately reflects how well a student is achieving the learning outcomes in a subject or course. A) Formative assessment is to show growth over time, determine student needs, plan next steps in instruction, and provide students with descriptive feedback. B) Summative assessment is to determine the extent to which learning has occurred for students. Evaluation is the process of analyzing, reflecting upon, and summarizing assessment information and making judgments and / or decisions based on the information gathered.
Assessment Breakdown (90%)
Assignments (Written/Research) 15 %
Module Projects 40% (2-3 shop projects)
Design problems/solutions 20 %
Lab Safety/Clean up 25%
Note: Due to time restrictions this class may not get to all Modules outlined in this document.
Final Assessment (10%)
Multiple Choice Exam
Expectations & Attendance Policy
Technology Education 9 is a hands-on courses with the majority of work done in class. Therefore, students are expected to be in class, be on time, and be prepared to work. Respect is also expected. This can include, but is not limited to, respect for oneself, respect for others, respect for the teacher, and respect for the facilities and equipment provided.
Attendance:
Maximum of 6 Excused Absences
Maximum of 6 Late Arrivals to Class (After 15 mins Student will be marked Absent unless late arrival has been approved)
1 Unexcused Absence
Module 1: Communication Technology
Students will be expected to :
- Create solutions to authentic communications technology problems
- Create and manipulate a variety of communication technology media to solve a problem
- Develop a plan to solve a plan to solve communications problems
Module 2: Energy Engineering
Students will be expected to:
- Design and construct solutions to energy engineering problems
- Create a mechanical device that demonstrates a change in motion
- Use knowledge of energy sources to make decisions about real life energy sources
Module 3 Inventions and Innovations
Students will be expected to:
- Design an adaptation for an existing product that solves a need
- Design and construct a system incorporating simple machines that will initiate a series of events
- Investigate how products are manufactured
Module 4: Production Technology
Students will be expected to:
- Demonstrate an understanding of all safety features of production technology machines and equipment
- Safely use all machines and tools to process materials
- Use a variety of fasteners to combine materials or assemble a product
