Maryland’s Voluntary State Curriculum for Technology

Education Curriculum is Based on The Standards For

Technological Literacy

To graduate, everybody needs a technology education

class.

Common misunderstandings about the study of technology education…

Technology Education is NOT Shop Class.

Technology Education IS studying:

1. The Nature of Technology

2. Technology and Society

3. Computer Programming and Engineering Design

4. Core Technologies

1. The Nature of Technology

• Students will develop an understanding of the– Characteristics and

scope of technology.– Core concepts of

technology.– Relationships among

technologies and the connections between technology and other fields of study.

2. Technology and Society

Students will develop an understanding of the

Cultural, social, economic, and political effects of technology.

Effects of technology on the environment.

Role of society in the development and use of technology.

Influence of technology on history.

3. Computer Science 1Introduces computer programming using a

variety of systemsStudents will develop an understanding of

programming using JAVA, Alice and Robots.

4. Ten Core Technologies

• Materials• Biomedical• Energy and power.• Information and

communication• Optical

• Fluid• Structural• Transportation.• Manufacturing• Construction

Computer Science 1

Uses the engineering design process to create, improve and test designs.

Solving modern-day problems relies on knowledge of STEM.

TTechnologyTechnology is the modification of the natural environment in order to satisfy perceived human needs and wants.

Technological literacy is the ability to use, manage, understand, and assess technology.

EEngineering

Engineering is the practical application of science, technology and math to solve problems

Every day, engineering technologies improve the ways that we communicate, work, travel, stay healthy, and entertain ourselves.

Engineers are problem-solvers who want to make things work more efficiently and quickly and less expensively.

From computer chips and satellites to medical devices and renewable energy technologies, engineering continues to improve our modern lives..

Mathematics is used to understand the oceans, atmosphere, polar ice caps, and the complex interactions among these vast systems:

* How long will the Arctic sea ice pack survive?* How much will sea level rise as ice sheets melt?* How do human activities affect climate change?* How is global climate monitored?* Are hurricanes and other severe weather events getting stronger?
