7th and 8th Grade Technology

Mr. Sullivan & Mr. Howard

Northeastern Clinton Middle School Technology:  Each student will participate in Technology in 7th and 8th grade.  The middle school technology program is geared towards problem solving activities that promote a cooperative learning environment for each individual student.  Basic engineering principles are emphasized while implementing a hands on approach to the fundamentals of technology.  A vast array of skills and methods are used: Basic problem solving, Magnetic Levitation, Sheet metal work, Construction, Transportation systems, Electronics, Drafting, CAD- (computer aided drafting), Foundry, and Basic woodworking.  The evaluation emphasis will be placed on the use of class time, attendance, ability to follow directions and the ability to help and work with others.

         "Each activity will not require mastery of each, but will require each individual to demonstrate the ability to use the equipment safely."
