Solutions for Technology Education

The introduction of robotics and material handling in the manufacturing industry has created higher quality, less expensive products.This course teaches students to program a robot, parts feeder, and conveyor system to replicate what happens in a high-tech manufacturing plant.

The Lab-Volt Exploring Mechanisms trainer introduces students to the world of mechanical power transmission. This course illustrates basic principles that apply to the wide use of power transmission in many areas, from vehicular transmissions to kitchen appliances and portable personal tape players

In the Computer Numerical Control (CNC): Mill course students are introduced to how products are designed and manufactured using computer-aided technology. They learn how to program and operate the mill, specify dimensions, and manufacture parts that meet these specifications

This course teaches students about the role CAD plays in the creation of buildings, vehicles, appliances, and industrial equipment.Professional CAD software helps students develop the CAD skills while creating technical drawings, floor plans, orthographic projections, isometric drawings, and house designs.

The Controls and Sensors course teaches students how devices such as electronic doors and automatic lights function. Sensors gather data from the environment, and controls utilize the information to direct a machine response. Students build machine models and write software programs to direct their operation

Through technology education, students learn about various technologies in each of the five main areas: communication, transportation, construction, manufacturing, and bio-related technologies. Instructional programs address the development, applications and impact of technologies, now and in the future.
