Course Description -
Industrial Technology 9 is a course that analyzes energy, power, and transportation technologies. These being: energy sources, mechanical power, electrical power, fluid power, pollution, land transportation, water transportation, air transportation, and space transportation. Each mode of transportation will be broken down into systems and studied. These systems being: propulsion, guidance, control, suspension, structural, and support systems. After written competency is attained in the energy, power, and transportation part of the course, there will be a basic study of business, manufacturing, advertising, and woodworking unit. In this woodworking unit there will a basic study of metric and English measurement, hand tools, safety, and a collaboration of basic woodworking lab projects.
