Technology Education Mission
Technology Education helps students develop an
appreciation and fundamental understanding of
technology through the study and application of
materials, tools, processes, inventions,
structures and artifacts of the past and present.
This series of courses allows students to apply
knowledge, tools, skills, and insights to the
solving of problems.

Technology Student Association

• The Technology Student Association is a
  non-profit national student organization devoted
  to teaching technology education to young people.
  TSA's mission is to inspire its student members
  to prepare for careers in a technology-driven
  economy and culture. The demand for technological
  expertise is escalating in American industry.
  Therefore, TSA's teachers strive to promote
  technological literacy, leadership, and problem
  solving to their student membership.

Exploring Technology / Technology Design and
Innovation Course Focus

• A Standards-Based Middle School Course Guide
• Provides students with opportunities to apply the
  design process in the invention or innovation of
  a new product, process, or system. Students
  participate in activities to understand how
  criteria, constraints, and processes affect
  designs.
• Students learn about brainstorming, visualizing,
  modeling, constructing, testing, experimenting,
  and refining designs.
• Students develop skills in researching
  information, communicating design information,
  and reporting results.

11
Invention and Innovation Course Focus

• A Standards-Based Middle School Course Guide
• Provides students with opportunities to explore
  invention and innovation, and the core concepts
  of technology, problem solving, design,
  troubleshooting, research and development, and
  experimentation.

12
Technological Systems Course Focus

• A Standards-Based Middle School Course Guide
• Students will learn how technological systems
  work together to solve problems and capture
  opportunities. As technology becomes more
  integrated and systems become more and more
  dependent upon each other than ever before, this
  course gives students a general background on the
  different types of systems, with particular
  concentration on the connections between these
  systems.

19
Technology Engineering and Design Education

• The current TE high school core courses are
  structured around an old paradigm of systems
  courses and do NOT reflect new national science
  and technology standards well.

20
Technology Engineering and Design Education

• 1 - The current TE high school core courses
• lack depth, focus, and rigor.
• 2 Several of the current systems courses
• have low enrollment.

21
Technology Engineering and Design Education

• 1. Most high skill occupations require a high
  degree of general and technical literacy.
• There is a strong demand for engineers and
  engineering technicians.
• 3. There is a strong demand for designers.
• 4. Game designer is a high growth industry in
  NC.
• 5. Generally, high skill occupations pay high
  wages.

22
Technology Engineering and Design Education
Primary Goals

1. Provide 21st Century literacy skills and
   understandings.
2. Provide focused and accelerated pre-engineering
   skills and understandings.
3. Prepare students for high skill, high wage and
   high demand industries.
4. Provide a state-of-the-art program for
   application in science, technology, engineering,
   mathematics and arts.

Strategies for Implementation Questions of
Concern

• Will in-service training be required for the new
  core
• courses (TED, TD, and TE)?
• 1. While in-service training is not required, it
  is strongly encouraged. Along with an increased
  focus on design and engineering, these new
  courses contain new content as well as new
  strategies for delivering the curriculum.
  Together, these changes argue for training both
  new and veteran teachers.
• 2. Some teachers will need training in CAD and
  virtual modeling tools.
• 3. Partnership with ITEEA will provide curriculum
  training for the state.

24
Strategies for Implementation Questions of
Concern

• Will any of these courses require changes
• in equipment?
• Yes The core high school courses will require a
  ratio of one computer per student.
• 2. The visualization courses already require a
  1-to-1 ratio.
• 3. There will be some additional equipment
  requirements for the course Technology and Design
  such as material testing equipment.

25
Strategies for Implementation Questions of
Concern

• Will additional physical modeling tools be
• required?
• 1. No. Existing requirements for hand tools and
• table top machines will remain virtually the
  same.

26
Strategies for Implementation Questions of
Concern

• Will there be additional software requirements
  for the core courses?
• 1. Yes. Programs will need 3D modeling software
• such as AutoDesk Inventor, SolidWorks or
• ProDesktop
• AND
• virtual modelers such as Rhino or 3D-MAX .

27
Strategies for Implementation Questions of
Concern

• What software will the visualization courses
  require?
• 1. Virtual and Physical Modeling requirements
  are
• the same as the core courses, with minor
  exceptions.
• 2. The SciVis and the Game Art and Design
• sequence will require virtual modelers such
  as
• Rhino or 3D-MAX.
• 3. The gaming engine software is free.

28
Strategies for Implementation Questions of
Concern

• What facility changes will be necessary?
• 1. Facilities will need to accommodate the
  additional computer stations.

29
Strategies for Implementation Questions of
Concern

• How will these changes affect modular programs?
• 1. Programs having less than a 1- to -1 ratio of
  computers to students will have to purchase
  additional computers.
• 2. As with the existing curriculum, modular
  curriculum must reflect the state curriculum.
• 3. OR LEAs may use third-party curriculum
  through the local course option process.
