  1. Computer Science 1 What is it?

  2. Computer Science 1: • Fulfills the state of MD technology education requirement • Introduces computer programming using a variety of systems • Uses the engineering designprocess to create, improve and test designs.

  3. Computer Science 1 Fulfills the state of MD technology education requirement Maryland’s Voluntary State Curriculum for Technology Education Curriculum is Based on The Standards For Technological Literacy To graduate, everybody needs a technology education class. http//www.iteaconnect.org

  4. Common misunderstandings about the study of technology education… • Technology Education is NOT Shop Class.

  5. Technology Education IS studying: • 1. The Nature of Technology • 2. Technology and Society • 3. Computer Programming and Engineering Design • 4. Core Technologies

  6. 1. The Nature of Technology • Students will develop an understanding of the • Characteristics and scope of technology. • Core concepts of technology. • Relationships among technologies and the connections between technology and other fields of study.

  7. 2. Technology and Society • Students will develop an understanding of the • Cultural, social, economic, and political effects of technology. • Effects of technology on the environment. • Role of society in the development and use of technology. • Influence of technology on history.

  8. 3. Computer Science 1Introduces computer programming using a variety of systems • Students will develop an understanding of programming using JAVA, Alice and Robots.

  9. Materials Biomedical Energy and power. Information and communication Optical Fluid Structural Transportation. Manufacturing Construction 4. Ten Core Technologies

  10. Computer Science 1 • Uses the engineering design process to create, improve and test designs. Solving modern-day problems relies on knowledge of STEM. So what is STEM?

  11. The focus is on: S cience Students are already required to study these T echnology E ngineering Computer Science will focus on these M ath

  12. S cience acquiring knowledge based on the scientific method. the collection of data through observation and experimentation, and the formulation and testing of hypotheses. • Astronomy • Biology • Chemistry • Environmental science • Geology • Hydrology • Meteorology • Nanotechnology • Physics

  13. T echnology Technology is the modification of the natural environment in order to satisfy perceived human needs and wants. Technological literacy is the ability to use, manage, understand, and assess technology.

  14. Engineering is the practical application of science, technology and math to solve problems Every day, engineering technologies improve the ways that we communicate, work, travel, stay healthy, and entertain ourselves. E ngineering Engineers are problem-solvers who want to make things work more efficiently and quickly and less expensively. From computer chips and satellites to medical devices and renewable energy technologies, engineering continues to improve our modern lives..

  15. Mathematics is used to understand the oceans, atmosphere, polar ice caps, and the complex interactions among these vast systems: * How long will the Arctic sea ice pack survive? * How much will sea level rise as ice sheets melt? * How do human activities affect climate change? * How is global climate monitored? * Are hurricanes and other severe weather events getting stronger? • Cryptographer • Actuary • Financial Analyst • Strategist • Statistician • Theoretical Mathematician • Environmental Analyst • Structural Analyst M Calculus Geometry Algebra Differential equations Numerical analysis Probability Statistics ath

  16. They all fit together to create solutions to modern day problems. Knowing and understanding STEM is the foundation of Computer Science 1. CS1 S cience T echnology E ngineering M ath
