TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION |
Automotive Technology III Prerequisite / Selection Process: Automotive Technology II Intended Audience: Grades 10, 11, and 12 Credit: One trimester = 0.5 credit Major Outcomes:
• Electrical systems
• Automotive computers
• Brakes – A. B. S. Projects, Activities, etc.: Work on personal vehicle as time and space allow Instructional Focus: Theory of operation and related mathematics through hands-on activities
ARCHITECTURE AND CONSTRUCTION
Design & Fabrication I Intended Audience: The Design and Fabrication course will be the first course all Tech Ed CTE students will participate in. As such, it has no prerequisite. Credit: One trimester = 0.5 credit Major Outcomes:
• Students will be able to demonstrate basic engineering design skills using CAD software.
• Students will demonstrate understanding of the four career pathways and explore one pathway in depth by designing and fabricating a product in that pathway.
• Students will demonstrate understanding of the materials( properties and selection) and processes used in product fabrication.
• Students will demonstrate the ability to correctly program / code CNC and 3D printing equipment.
• Students will demonstrate the safety attitudes and procedures required in the use of fabrication materials and equipment.
• Students will experience and be able to articulate the critical attributes of manufacturing careers needed to be successful in MN businesses and industries.
Instructional Focus:
• This course will focus instruction on students developing and then applying their knowledge and skills in the design and fabrication of a product. Students will be allowed to choose the career pathway of focus.
• Students will also be expected to integrate STEM and other content knowledge into their product design and fabrication.
• This is an“ application-based course” with students demonstrating real-world application of knowledge and skills in the use of high-tech cutting-edge equipment, software and materials.

Design & Fabrication II Intended Audience: All interested students in Grades 9, 10 and 11( or any first time Tech Ed upper class student since this course hasn’ t previously been available). Prerequisite / Selection Process: Design and Fabrication I Credit: One trimester = 0.5 credit Major Outcomes:
• Students will be able to demonstrate engineering design skills using CAD software.
• Students will demonstrate understanding of the four career pathways and explore one pathway in depth by designing and fabricating a product in that pathway. As the second course in the sequence, the products in this course will allow for greater complexity and personalization in focus.
• Students will demonstrate understanding of the materials( properties and selection) and processes used in product fabrication.
• Students will demonstrate the ability to correctly program / code CNC and 3D printing equipment.
• Students will demonstrate the safety attitudes and procedures required in the use of fabrication materials and equipment.
• Students will experience and be able to articulate the critical attributes of manufacturing careers needed to be successful in MN businesses and industries.
Instructional Focus:
• This course will focus instruction on advancing students’ knowledge and skills in the design and fabrication of products. Students will be allowed to choose the career pathway of focus.
• Students will also be expected to integrate STEM and other content knowledge into their product design and fabrication.
• This is an“ application-based course” with students demonstrating real-world application of knowledge and skills in the use of high-tech cutting-edge equipment, software and materials.
