TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION OFFERINGS

DESIGN & TECHNOLOGY I Year 5 credits GRADES 9-12
Design & Tech I is a fundamental course available to all students that introduces the study of engineering and
design through project based learning. Students will utilize design principles, computer aided drafting & design
applications as well as hands-on projects in an exciting and interesting classroom environment. The lessons
and skills acquired in this class will prepare the student for Design & Tech 2.

DESIGN & TECH 1
FOR LAB SCIENCE Year 4 credits GRADES 9-12
Prerequisite: D&T I with a grade of 80% or above
Design & Tech 1 Lab Sci, is available to all students who are currently enrolled in a lab science class. This is a
fundamental course that introduces the study of engineering and design through project based learning.
Students will utilize design principles, computer aided drafting & design applications as well as hands-on
projects in an exciting and interesting classroom environment. The lessons and skills acquired in this class will

DESIGN & TECH 2
FOR LAB SCIENCE Year 4 credits GRADES 10-12
Prerequisite: D&T I with a grade of 80% or above
Design & Tech 2 Lab Sci, is available to all students who are currently enrolled in a lab science class and
completed Design & Tech 1. This course will provide a creative learning environment for students while
developing their knowledge and awareness of our advancing technological society. Students will be engaged in
class projects that build upon the design principles learned in D&T I as they plan, build, and test solutions to
challenging projects. Classroom competitions are used to motivate and encourage students to achieve higher
goals during the learning process. Design & Tech II focus areas include (but are not limited to): structural
design, energy, problem solving, aerodynamics, and flight. D&T II students will continue to build upon their
knowledge and experience in using cutting-edge computer-aided drafting and solid modeling
programs/applications for design purposes.

DESIGN & TECHNOLOGY II Year 5 credits GRADES 10-12
Prerequisite: D&T I with a grade of 80% or above
Design & Tech II is available to students who have successfully completed D&T I. This course will provide a
creative learning environment for students while developing their knowledge and awareness of our advancing
technological society. Students will be engaged in class projects that build upon the design principles learned
in D&T I as they plan, build and test solutions to challenging projects. Classroom competitions are used to
motivate and encourage students to achieve higher goals during the learning process. Design & Tech II focus
areas include (but are not limited to): structural design, energy, problem solving, aerodynamics, and flight. D&T
II students will continue to build upon their knowledge and experience in using cutting edge computer aided
drafting and solid modeling programs/applications for design purposes.

DESIGN & TECHNOLOGY III Year 5 credits GRADES 11-12
*Dual Credit Opportunity*
Prerequisite D&T II with a grade of 80% or above
Design & Tech III is available to students who have successfully completed D&T II. This course is designed as
the third of a three-year sequence and provides a practical approach to the application of technological
concepts and design principles. D&T III will present students with challenging class activities and projects that
stimulate additional research and develop problem solving skills. Design & Tech III focus areas include (but are
not limited to): mechanical engineering and manufacturing technologies, robotics, remote sensors and
electronic controls, alternative energy, pneumatics along with the continued mastery of several
industry-standard computer aided design and solid modeling programs. Students who complete Design & Tech
I, II and III can apply for Dual Credit at Camden County College for ENG-101 (Engineering 101).
