Course Overview

Course philosophy

Upper Cape Cod Technical School’s Engineering Technology program prepares students for entry level employment and continuing education that lead to a range of careers in both the public and private sectors. The field of Engineering Science and Technology blends the principles of science, engineering, mathematics as they are applied to such endeavors as product improvement, manufacturing, construction, and engineering operational functions. Throughout the program at Upper Cape Tech, students work on projects in surveying, renewable energy, robotics and system automation, computer-aided design (CAD), computer numerical controlled machining and mechanical design. Major topics addressed in the program (grades 10–12) include:

· Analog electronics

· Digital electronics

· Soldering/electronic assembly

· Circuit board design/fabrication

· Robotics/automation

· Test and measurement equipment application

· Micro-controller application/programming

· Computer-aided design

· Problem solving and troubleshooting

· Engineering design process

· Manufacturing materials

· Statistical quality control

· Total quality management (TQM)

Students may continue their education at two-year or four-year colleges.

related business and industry expectations

Most engineering technicians specialize, learning skills and working in the same disciplines as engineers and scientists. Occupational titles, therefore, tend to reflect this similarity. For example, aerospace engineering and operations technicians may calibrate test equipment, such as wind tunnels, and determine causes of equipment malfunctions in the manufacture of aircraft and spacecraft. Civil engineering technicians may help plan and oversee the construction of highways, buildings, bridges, dams, wastewater treatment systems, and so forth, helping to estimate construction costs and materials. Electronic engineering technicians help design, develop, test, and manufacture electrical and electronic equipment such as communication equipment, medical monitoring devices, navigational equipment, and computers. Electro-mechanical engineering technicians may design, develop, test, manufacture or operate electronic and computer-controlled mechanical systems, such as robotic assembly machines. Environmental engineering technicians inspect and maintain equipment related to air pollution and recycling, and water and wastewater treatment systems. Industrial engineering technicians study the efficient use of personnel, materials, and machines in factories, stores, repair shops, and offices, working under the direction of industrial engineers to conduct statistical studies of production time or quality, and analyze production costs. Mechanical engineering technicians help design, develop, test, and manufacture industrial machinery, consumer products, and other equipment.

Motion




Differentiate between weight and mass, recognizing that weight is the amount of gravitational pull on an object.

Distinguish between vector quantities (velocity, acceleration, and force) and scalar quantities (speed and mass).

Distinguish between, and solve problems involving, velocity, speed, and constant acceleration.

Create and interpret graphs of motion (position vs. time, speed vs. time, velocity vs. time, constant acceleration vs. time).

Explain the relationship between mass and inertia.

Interpret and apply Newton's first law of motion.

Interpret and apply Newton's second law of motion to show how an object's motion will change only when a net force is applied.

Qualitatively distinguish between static and kinetic friction, what they depend on and their effects on the motion of objects.

Identify appropriate standard international units of measurement for force, mass, distance, speed, acceleration, and time, and explain how they are measured.
