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.

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)

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

 

Technological Design (TDJ4M1)

This program is designed for students with no technical background, offering the direction and skills needed to handle regular maintenance around the home. Sample topics for study include: planning an addition to home cottage, repairs and renovations, drywall repair, painting and redecorating, and minor electrical and plumbing work.

 

Communication Technology (TGJ4M1)

This course examines communications systems and design and production processes in one or more of the areas of electronic, live, and graphic communications. Students will independently create, manage, and distribute complex graphic, electronic, or audiovisual projects. 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.

 

Radio Course (TGJ4M2)
