SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY
Intensive Course Designation
Paul Chanley
Fall 2012
A scientist describes what is, and
an engineer creates what never was
Theodore von Karman
Scientist and Engineer
Engineering is Elementary®
Science, Technology & Engineering
Curiosity Mars Rover
Science, Technology & Engineering
Scientist: Desire to study the surface of Mars
Engineer: Working with the scientist, develops the
technologies to study the surface and
the mechanisms to deliver and land the
rover safely
Technology: The rover and tools on board
Science & Technology
Science:
Seeks to describe and understand the natural world and
its physical properties
Scientific knowledge can be used to make predictions
Science uses a process--the scientific method--to
generate knowledge
Engineering is Elementary®
Science & Technology
Technology:
The body of knowledge, systems, processes, and
artifacts that result from engineering
Almost everything made by humans to solve a need or
fulfill a want/desire is a technology
Engineering uses a process--the engineering design
process--to produce solutions and technologies
Engineering is Elementary®
NECC GOAL
All two year programs will include at least one
course designated as Science & Technology
Intensive
Program Examples
Engineering Science Program: Students take
both science and technology courses
Physics and Chemistry (designated as intensive)
Engineering discipline specific courses; Statics, Dynamics,
Engineering Circuit Analysis
Electronic Technology Program: Students take
only technology courses no science course required
Intensive designated course needs to be developed
Program Options
Option #1: Modify a required course in the program
that meets proper criteria and classified it as Science &
Technology Intensive
Option #2: Develop a new required course for the
program that meets proper criteria and classified it as
Science & Technology Intensive
Option #3: Implement into the program a course
currently designated as Science & Technology Intensive
Program Options
CTE105-Green Technology:
Pre-reqs./Proficiencies: Basic Reading & Basic Algebra
Computer Science Elective, Free Elective, Technical
Elective, Technology Elective
Students explore lifestyle changes that empower them to reduce both
their personal and community Carbon Footprint…greener society
through technology.
Theoretical and practical concepts of energy sources with an
emphasis on solving problems related to sustainable renewable
energy use and conservation.
Program Options
CTE105-Green Technology: (cont.)
Carbon footprint calculations, the expanded use of wind,
solar and hydroelectric power
Hands-on lab experiments, elementary engineering
projects and computer internet research
Students discover several aspects contributing to carbon
emissions and developing a Low Carbon Diet
Could add additional Intensive classification to the
course…Globalization & Communication
INTENSIVE COURSE DESIGNATION Science & Technology
Application Statement: Students will learn to explain
how science and technology influence each other and
how both can be used to explore natural and human-
created systems.
COURSE CRITERIA
Students discuss the attributes of science and/or
technology, i.e. what science and technology are
Students evaluate the validity and limitations of science
and technology claims in news reports, text books and
magazine articles.
Students relate what they are learning in the classroom
about science and technology to their personal lives,
and/or community.
COURSE CRITERIA
Demonstrate and apply knowledge of major scientific or
technological concepts under study.
Students participate in the analysis of a lab experiment,
technological article, or case study with an appropriate
hypothesis and conclusion.
Note: All five statements must be met in order to classify
the course as Science & Technology Intensive
