Digital Communication One
This course will introduce a wide variety of multimedia and digital communication technologies. These include graphic design, desktop publishing, computer technology, scanning, digital photography, layout and design, video production, TV studio and production, multimedia presentations, digital portfolios, 2D Flash animation, 3D computer animation, audio technology, and printing on various mediums. Problem solving activities are used to teach technological concepts.Teacher(s): Mr. Hancock, Mr. Vogle
Digital Communication Two
Students in this course will further develop the multimedia and communication technology skills that they learned in level one. They will work on advanced video productions, multimedia projects, digital portfolios, 2D Flash animations, 3D computer animations, and desktop publishing. Students will be challenged with problem solving activities, independent studies, and various projects for the school and community.
Teacher(s): Mr. Hancock
TV Studio and Production
TV Studio and Production: This course is designed for those students who want to increase their knowledge base of TV and news broadcasting. In this class students will experience how a video studio operates. They will operate cameras, use a control room and edit videos for a viewing audience. The main activity is this course is the design, development, and implementation of the daily news.
Technical Drawing One
Technology influences every aspect of our lives. This course is important because technical drawing is vital for the inception, development, and communication of ideas related to technology, industry, and scientific development. Technical drawing is an important form of communications.
Teacher(s): Mr. Etsweiler
Technical Drawing Two
Technology influences every aspect of our lives. This course is important because technical drawing is vital for the inception, development, and communication of ideas related to technology, industry, and scientific development. Technical drawing is an important form of communications. Technical Drawing two is a continuation of the skills developed in Technical Drawing 1.Teacher(s): Mr. Chronister
Architectural Drawing
This course is important because architectural drawing is a communication skill and as such is vital for the inception, development, and communication of ideas related to residential, commercial, industrial and civil construction. As current and future resources change, so must our ability to construct habitations that meet our basic human needs. It is recommended that students take Technical Drawing 1(TEC552) before enrolling in TEC556 because of the need for basic drawing and CADD skills.Teacher(s): Mr. Chronister
Advanced CADD
This course is important because of the creation of advanced Computer-Aided Drafting and Design (CADD) applications. TEC557 is designed to allow students to integrate all their drawing knowledge into a large scale project of their choosing and develop multimedia portfolios to display the work. It is recommended that students choose a project that can include components from all programs in use in the lab. It is required that students have completed at least 2 other drafting course before enrolling in TEC557.Teacher(s): Mr. Chronister
Computer Animation
Computer animation can be seen everywhere. It is used on the web, in movies, architecture, mechanical design, advertising, historical re-creations and computer games. This class will cover a brief history of animation, project planning, 2D and 3D animation techniques, real-time animation along with 2D and 3D game development. Students will create multi-media portfolios displaying their work. This class is designed for students considering careers in the electronic arts, technology or the computer sciences.Teacher(s): Mr. Chronister
Introduction to Technology Education
This course is designed to be an introductory course into the Central Dauphin High School Technology Education program. It is designed to give students a glimpse into the three different areas of technology: manufacturing, graphics, and drafting that are offered at the high school level. Basic graphic layout, sketching, shop techniques, and design fundamentals will be covered. This is a half-year course. A lab fee will be charged for supplies used in the class.Teacher(s): Mr. Vogle
Engineering Technology One
This course will inform the college-bound engineering major of the industrial and technical methods and procedures used in engineering today. A study of basic knowledge in math, science, drafting, and technology will be explored on a fundamental level. The course will attempt to give engineering thinking skills.
Teacher(s): Mr. Sweigard
Engineering Technology Two
This course is designed to be a continuation of Engineering and Design One. Students will continue to develop their problem solving skills by completing and array of challenging tasks. Manufacturing technology, woodworking technology, electronics, and, transportation technology will be covered. Engineering and technical careers will be discussed. A lab fee will be changed for supplies used in the class.
Teacher(s): Mr. Etsweiler
Engineering Technology Three
This course is designed to be a continuation of Engineering and Design Two with an increased emphasis on selecting, designing, and construction more advanced pieces of furniture. The major percentage of the class time will be spent on project construction, however special instructions and demonstrations will be given to machine setups, special cuts, routing techniques, and mass production / duplication activities. Students must purchased all materials needed to complete their projects.Teacher(s): Mr. Vogle
