Elementary (E), Intermediate (I) and Commencement (C)

Engineering Design

Engineering design in an iterative process involving modeling and optimization used to develop technological solutions to problems within given constraints.

Tools, Resources, and Technological Processes

Technological tools, materials, and other resources should be selected on the basis of safety, cost, availability, appropriateness, and environmental impact; technological processes change energy, information, and material resources into more useful forms.

Computer Technology

Computers, as tools for design, modeling, information processing, communication, and system control, have greatly increased human productivity and knowledge.

Technological Systems

Technological systems are designed to achieve specific results and produce outputs, such as products, structures, services, energy, or other systems
