Course Description:
Physics for Technology is a one-year, one-credit course in which students apply physics and math principles through a unified systems approach for a broad knowledge base of the principles underlying modern technical systems. The course covers seven principles: force, work, rate, resistance, energy, power, and force transformers. Students learn how each principle plays a unifying role in the operation of mechanical, fluid, electrical, and thermal systems in high-tech equipment. This “principles and systems” approach to studying these technical principles provides a foundation for further education and career flexibility as technology and technical systems advance. Physics for Technology is required for students who wish to earn the Gold or Silver Tech Prep Seal for Engineering and Technical Careers on their diplomas.
