Exploring Technology is a broad, diversified course developed to meet the needs of productive citizens of the future by using our knowledge, tools, and skills to solve practical problems and extend human capabilities. The course contains key elements of each of the four systems of technology--communication, construction, manufacturing, and transportation. The course is a systematic explanation, followed by a "hands-on" experience with the most important processes, materials, tools, machines, management ideas, and impacts of technology. The course is an introduction to technology complete in itself, as well as an orientation to other elements of Bruce High School's Technology Education Program. This class is open to freshman.
