  1. Welcome to Mrs. Kathy Starr’s Gateway to Technology Class

  2. What is GTT? • GTT (Gateway to Technology) • Incorporates Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. • Activity oriented • Project based-learning/hand-on approach • Promotes teamwork, collaboration and communication • Challenging

  3. It also allows students to reinforce, apply and transfer their knowledge in Math, Science and other core areas to a variety of interesting and relevant hands-on activities.

  4. The following units will be covered : • Unit 1: Design and Modeling Topics: • What is engineering? • Design process • Measurement • Sketching and dimensioning techniques • Designing for production

  5. Unit 2: Science of Technology • Applied Chemistry • Nanotechnology • Applied Physics

  6. Unit 3: Automation and Robotics • What is automation and robotics? • Mechanical systems • Automated systems

  7. Unit 4: Magic of Electrons • What is electricity. • Electronics. • Digital electronics.

  8. II-Class Expectations: • 1.) Follow directions the first time they are given. • 2.) Be on time to class. • 3.) Bring materials. • 4.) Keep on task. • 5.) There will be no rude language or profanity.

  9. Students must also comply with STPA technology use guidelines (available in the student’s handbook) and the Lab Safety procedures.

  10. IV- Textbook: • Technology Interactions • Engineering Graphics Essentials • Modeling with Inventor 2010 • Gateway to Engineering 2010 • Autodesk Inventor 2011

  11. V-Grading: • 50% Daily work (Participation, Lab work, etc) • 30% Tests • 20% Quizzes Grading System 100- 90 = A 79-70= C 89- 80 = B 69 and below is failing

  12. VI- Retesting • Nine Weeks and Semester Exams are not retested. • The highest grade on a retest is a 70.

  13. VII- Make up work • Students who fail a major test/assessment (below 70%) will be allowed to retake or correct up to a 70% grade. • This does not include final semester examinations.

  14. The student is responsible for making up any tests or assignments when absent. • Failure to do so will most likely result in a failing grade.

  15. VIII-Borderline Failing • If a student is failing with a 65 to a 69 at the end of a nine week period, they will be given the opportunity to be placed on a course contract. Student/Parent/Teacher course contract work will only allow the student to receive an average of no higher than a 70.

  16. IX-Tutoring • Student must check with teacher for these days. • Student needs to fill out the Tutoring Log for record verification.

  17. "There is absolutely no research correlation between success and family background, race, national origin, financial status. Or even educational accomplishments. There is but on correlation with success, and that is ATTITUDE."
