Principles of Technology I
Students conduct experiments and tackle projects in this single-period laboratory science course to apply physics and mathematics concepts. Students study seven technical principles: force, work, rate, resistance, energy, power, and force transformers, examining how each principle plays a unifying role in the operation of mechanical, fluid, electrical, and thermal systems in technology equipment and systems. This hands-on project approach to studying technical principles provides a foundation for further education and career readiness.
Notes
Course Sequences
A combination of this course and those below, equivalent to two 36-week courses, is a concentration sequence. Students wishing to complete a specialization may take additional courses based on their career pathways. A program completer is a student who has met the requirements for a CTE concentration sequence and all other requirements for high school graduation or an approved alternative education program.
