INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGY
Industrial Technology courses are designed to provide exploratory experiences
in design and manufacturing technology rather than complete vocational
training in any one area. Topics of study are centered on architectural and
engineering drawing, computer aided drafting and woodworking. In each area
of study, critical thinking and problem solving skills are stressed in addition to
the development of good work habits. The use of tools and materials to solve
problems will result in new knowledge and acquisition of lifelong skills.
