This is a full-year course, which is an introductory level that contains a complete curriculum to provide a beginning base of knowledge of technology. Currently there are seventeen different modules of technology that will be investigated. A module is a tenday, self-contained learning unit that focuses on specific topics. It contains all of the hardware, software, text, and hands-on materials that a student needs to learn about the topic being studied. Enhancements and new modules are added each year. The technology modules currently being offered are: Alternative Energy, Automation and Robotics, Animation, Artificial Intelligence, Computer Game Development, Computer Graphics Design, Computer Numerical Control Milling, Computer-Aided Design, Controls and Sensors, Desktop Publishing, Digital Video Ending, Exploratory Electronics, Flight Simulation, Health, Plastics, Video Production, and Virtual Reality.

Students are introduced to the major printing processes used in industry. Specifically, students learn photo-offset operations and photo -composition. They print projects such as memo pads, business cards, booklets, etc. This class exposes students to basic darkroom procedures. Since this is a lab-oriented course, attendance is extremely important; work cannot be taken out of class for make-up assignments.

An advanced level course in which students use knowledge gained in Survey of Graphic Communications and apply it to multicolor line reproduction, halftone photography, and special effect printing. An emphasis is also placed on an introduction to desktop publishing. Since this is a lab-oriented course, attendance is very important; work cannot be taken out of class for make-up assignments.

Production Graphics is a year course in which students learn the technical aspects of layout and design. Students get a comprehensive background in presswork, photo-reproduction, desktop publishing, photo typesetting, prescreening halftones, and proper layout techniques. Students assume the  responsibility for layout and production of brochures, business forms, and other professionally prepared documents. Students learn to deal with time commitments, monitored quality control, and tailored specifications.

Woodworking covers the many areas of the woodworking / carpentry industry including structural design and building; study of wood joinery, joint construction, machine operations, hand tool operations, use of fasteners, laminates, stains, and cabinet hardware. Light building construction designed to give students and opportunity to gain experience and insight into the building trades and related areas. The majority of the class will take place in the lab towards the completion of a project.

The majority of the class will take place in the lab towards the completion of a project. Advanced Woodworking students have the freedom to design a project of their choice after completing a class project. Some,examples of advanced projects include a chest of drawers, writing desk, gun cabinets, hutches, bookcases, tables, kitchen cabinets, cedar chests, and podiums.

Advanced light building construction is semester long class designed to give students further experience and insight into the building trades by applying basic framing techniques to build a structure. The students will build a large playhouse using the same techniques used in the building trades.

Is a course to give highly motivated students to apply their knowledge in an independent setting. Students select between production woodworking and/or light building construction and complete a project.

This class is recommended for anyone interested in engineering, architecture, or design, as well as for future homeowners and those interested in employment in any technical, building, or manufacturing area. Students use a combination of sketching and AutoCAD software to complete projects, such as creating house floorplans, virtual-remodeling your own room, and designing custom wheels.

This course is concerned with the advanced areas of Engineering and/or Architectural drawing using CAD. The specific subject areas to be studied are determined by the student after consulting with and being approved by the instructor. A proven ability to work semi-independently is expected. The course may be repeated when appropriate.

This course is designed to address the needs of advanced CAD students. Students will be assisted with individual projects in Engineering and/or Architectural Design. Subject and design areas are determined by the teacher to meet individual student needs.

This year-long course is designed to allow students to explore and examine basic engineering and design principles. It will involve both individual and group or team learning projects. Included in the course is the study and practice of: Design/Engineering, Mockups and other models, applied math, and application of the basic machines (wheel, screw, wedge, pulley, inclined plane, and lever). Problem-solving, teamwork, design procedures, and solutions are utilized. It is designed as a course to help students grasp work-related concepts, such as those covered in the Work Keys portion of the Prairie State Exam.
