SPECIFIC EXPECTATIONS
C1. TechnologyandtheEnvironment
By the end of this course, students will:
C1.1 identify environmental issues that affect technological design (e.g., global climate change, resource depletion, conservation, toxins);
C1.2 describe and apply best practices for con- serving energy and other resources during the design process (e.g., use wood glue instead of hot glue, plan projects to make efficient use of materi- als and equipment, reuse and recycle prototype material).
C2. TechnologyandSociety
By the end of this course, students will:
C2.1 describe how society influences the devel- opment and use of technology (e.g., traffic congestion spurs development of compact vehicles; increasing population density leads to the con- struction of taller buildings; environmental aware- ness leads to increased use of alternative energy sources);
C2.2 describe how various technological innova- tions have affected quality of life (e.g., pesticides, internal combustion engines, plastics, on-demand water heaters, catalytic converters, nanotechnology, wireless communication).
C1. demonstrate an understanding of environmentally responsible practices, and apply them through- out the technological design process;
C2. describe how society influences technological innovation and how technology affects society.
