  3. Department Instructors • Mr. Gary Gray • 37 years • Mr. Jim Genovese • 31 years • Mr. Zach Hall • 4 Year

  4. History of EaT -Manual Arts- -Industrial Arts- -Industrial Technology- -Technology Education-

  5. A great Philosopher made these quotes:“The manual arts have always taken precedent to the fine arts.” “Remember, someone had to build the ceiling before Michelangelo went to work”

  6. The great philosopher is- John Ratzenberger “Cliff” Cheers

  7. TECHNOLOGY is a body of knowledge and action, used by people, to apply resources in developing, producing, using, and assessing products, structures and systems in order to control and modify the natural and human-made environment.

  8. TECHNOLOGY “The study of the human-made world.”

  9. What is Technological Literacy? • Indiana’s Standards for Technological Literacy: Defines technological literacy as the ability to use, manage, assess, and understand technology. • Technological literacy, like other forms of literacy, is what every person needs in order to be an informed and contributing citizen for the world of today and tomorrow. • Technological literacy is more a capacity to understand the broader technological world rather than an ability to work with specific processes of it. (NAE/NRC, 2002)

  10. Who is a technologically literate person? Understands: • What technology is • How technology is created • How the use of technology shapes society and in turn, • How society shapes the development of technology

  23. State Competitions “With the growing importance of technology to our society, it is vital that students receive an education that emphasizes technological literacy.” Indiana Department of Education

  24. Program of the Year2006 Gary Gray Meritorious Teacher Mr. Stephen Krutz Valparaiso High School

  25. Senate Resolution 372004 A Concurrent Resolution urging the educational leaders of the State of Indiana to ensure that the P-16 Plan for Improving Student Achievement places emphasis on the Standards for Technological Literacy (ITEA 2000) as a vision for kindergarten through 12th grade.

  26. Pre –EngineeringCourses at VHS

  27. of PLTW is to grow the nation’s technology workforce. The primary goal

  28. How are we doing today?

  29. We are not graduating enough engineers and technicians.

  30. Why should we be concerned?

  31. What does the pipeline of engineers and technicians look like?

  32. Engineering Technology Degrees Awarded 1988-2002 SOURCE: American Association of Engineering Societies (2002)

  33. Where do college engineering students come from?America’s High Schools

  34. Introduction To Engineering DesignCourse

  35. Principles Of EngineeringCourse

  36. Digital ElectronicsCourse

  37. Civil Engineering and ArchitectureCourse

  38. Engineering Design and Development Problem Solving in Teams Juried Presentations

  39. The following is an example of student work from: Introduction to Engineering Design Course Grades 9-12

  40. Cylindrical Volume Layout H Axis of Revolution Profile to Revolve R Hint V =  r 2 H All volume formulas must include the cubic inch to fluid ounce conversion factor of 1.804.

  41. Truncated Cone Volume Solution 1. Assign a value to RAB 2. Assign a value to HAB 3. Find the volume of cone(AB) VAB 4. In the front view, sketch the profile of the container using the above assigned values. 5. Use the dimension function to find the length of RB 6. Find the volume of cone (B) VB 7. Plug the values of VAB and VB into the formula VA= VAB - VB. This will give the volume of the truncated cone (A). *Note: If you move the position of RB upor down, it will change the volume of the truncated cone (A).

  42. Parabolic Container Solution

  43. From Engineering/Tech Dept. • We Have A Newsflash

  44. Come and take a TOUR anytime and see what you will not find in a Charter School
