22 courses with the subject TDE, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
TDE 101Introduction to Technology Education ()1
Orientation to technology teacher education curricula. Overview of the philosophy, objectives and scope of technology education programs in the public schools, multicultural and individual differences of students. A study of current technology issues will be conducted throughout the course. Typically offered in Fall only
TDE 131Technology through Engineering and Design I (3
hours) Study of engineering and design processes used to solve technological problems, innovate and invent. Students will actively design, model and test solutions to technological problems and explore methods to teach middle and high school students about engineering design and the design process. Typically offered in Fall and Spring y TDE 202 Introduction to Teaching Technology Engineering and Design Education (2 credit hours) This course introduces students to teaching technology, engineering, and design in middle and secondary schools. Students will become familiar with state standards and national recommendations for teaching technology, engineering, and design. The co-requisite for this course has a required fieldwork component in local middle and secondary schools, and students are responsible for their own transportation to and from their field experience sites. Students are required to purchase internship liability insurance to participate in this course. Contact University Insurance & Risk Management for details on acquiring the insurance and the current charge. Typically offered in Fall only
TDE 205Desktop Publishing and Imaging Technology (3
hours) An introduction to digital document production and techniques. Explores software packages used in producing documents for print. Structured for public school teachers and other interested persons, the course introduces basic standards and concepts of page layout, copyright and trademark laws, document usability, readability, and methods of document production. Typically offered in Fall and Spring
Scientific and technical visualization is an introductory course providing orientation to communication of scientific and technical information with graphics. Using current practice in science, technology, and engineering disciplines as the context, the class will use general and discipline- specific techniques to explore how to effectively communicate with graphics. Both manual and current software and computer technologies will be used to design and create graphics. Students will also learn to critically examine and discuss graphics produced by themselves and others. Typically offered in Spring only
Image creation and control, aesthetics, production processes and environments, and media transfer are explored. This course emphasizes concepts of audio and video design, various digital media technologies, and nonlinear editing concepts through laboratory experiments and projects in radio, television, original audio development, and video production. TDE Majors or instructor permission. Typically offered in Spring only
Contemporary and historical examples of the art and craft of ceramics will be studied. Experiences in designing ceramic forms and expressing individual ideas through the medium of clay. GEP Visual and Performing Arts Typically offered in Summer only
Direct current, alternating current, and semiconductors. Measurement and circuit behavior. Experimentation with application circuits. Typically offered in Fall only
Examination of current and projected technology topics which are growing in importance but are not presently reflected in the Technology Education programs of NC public schools. Laboratory experiences include development, revision, and field testing of appropriate learning activities for middle and high school students in the selected topic areas Typically offered in Spring only
This course is an introduction to design and invention system control mechanisms and robot sensors. Students will classify foundational technical developments in autonomous and computer- and radio-control robot teleoperations. Students will explore the history and evolution of robots and automation and their social, economic, industrial, and educational impacts. Typically offered in Spring only
Students will apply technological problem solving skills toward 21st century design and innovation. This includes experiences multiple robotics design and invention systems and related programming and designing, prototyping, and programming an autonomous robot to resolve a real world issue. Typically offered in Spring only
