Manufacturing Technologies
Examines the advances that maintain manufacturing
efficiency, how human consumption affects
manufacturing, and how manufacturing affects the
standard of living of various peoples. Explores
the process of changing raw materials into more
desirable products.
Energy Power Technologies
Focuses on the relationship between energy and
power technologies and all other technologies,
and on how modern energy and power systems impact
cultures, societies, and the environment.
Examines how energy and power systems can be made
more efficient and how they may be utilized in
problem-solving.
7
Construction Technologies
Explores the factors influencing the design and
construction of structures, including the
infrastructural elements and the community
development factors. Provides experience with
modeling structures to scale.
Transportation Technologies
Explores the complex networks of interconnected
transportation subsystems and their role in the
overall functional process of transportation.
Provides an analysis of the improvements and the
impacts of transportation technologies on the
environment, society, and culture.

Information Communication Technologies
Examines how technology facilitates the
gathering, manipulation, storage, and
transmission of data, and how this data can be
used to create useful products. Explores how
communications systems can solve technological
problems.
Medical Technologies
Provides an analysis of how medical technologies
are used to increase the quality and length of
human life, and how increased use of technology
carries potential consequences, which require
public debate. Examines the tools and devices
used to repair and replace organs, prevent
disease, and rehabilitate the human body.
10
Agriculture Related Biotechnologies
Examines how agricultural technologies provide
increased crop yields and allow adaptation to
changing and harsh environments, enabling the
growth of plants and animals for various uses.
Provides an analysis of the various uses of
biotechnology and the ethical considerations of
those uses.
Entertainment Recreation Technologies
Explores technological entertainment and
recreation systems, the differences between these
technologies, how their use enhances human
leisure-time performance, and the social,
cultural, and environmental implications of their
usage.

• Provides hands-on, problem-based, concept-driven
  curriculum materials for high school technology
  education students.
• Prepares students for post-secondary education in
  engineering or advanced level technical programs
  at the community college level by providing a
  sound educational base for the first-year
  transition.

12
Guiding Principles

• Problem-based learning
• Constructivist approach
• Standards-based
• Sound curriculum design
• Bridge competencies

13
Knowledge Base Development

• Understanding by Design
• Wiggins and McTighe
• Identified Enduring Understandings
• Large, inclusive, and robust ideas
• Often misunderstood ideas
• Ideas central to the discipline
• Ideas worth knowing

Identify Enduring Understandings
16
SampleEnduring Understanding

• Technological progression is driven by a number
  of factors, including individual creativity,
  product and systems innovation, and human wants
  and needs.

17
Evidence Enduring Understandings
The next step involved specifying what evidence
would be used to determine whether students have
grasped the Enduring Understandings. This was
done before lessons were designed activities
were developed.

• Short-term assessments
• Checks for understanding
• Academic prompts
• Comprehensive and performance assessments

Teaching Tips
Example In this task, student teams are asked to
create a jig to check the length of paper clips.
Although you should not tell the students exactly
how to solve this problem, you should provide
them with samples of different types of jigs or
Internet access to conduct research to find their
own examples.

Preliminary Challenge
Example Your teacher has provided each group
with a fabricated product that is comprised of
multiple components and materials. Your task will
be to disassemble the product into its simplest
components so that you can begin to classify the
types of materials and processes that were
involved in its manufacture.
30
Primary Challenge
Summary As a member of an assigned team, design
and construct a vending-type machine where an
individual can select a liquid soap to fit their
preferences. The manufacturing system must
incorporate at least two automated functions to
control parts of the process.
