Arts pratiques
Vêtement, habitation et dessin 10S
Primarily a “hands-on” approach to clothing and textiles aimed at recognizing the influences on design and fashion, past and present, and how one's needs, preferences, values and goals affect clothing and housing choices. Within the framework of specific requirements, students will be able to choose their own practical projects in the area of greatest interest. Basic materials will be supplied in class, but students can expect to purchase fabrics or accessories for self-initiated projects.
Pré-génie et étude technologique I 15G/15G
This course is designed to use Project Based Learning as the instructional model. Students will be involved in problem-solving investigations and other engaging tasks that allow them to work in groups and/or individually to solve open-ended engineering problems. They will design, build and test solutions they have planned and constructed. Students will be taught all required manufacturing skills, and how to safely utilize the equipment in the lab. Students should have the ability to meet deadlines and to work independently and cooperatively with others.
Students will learn:
- Lab safety
- All required manufacturing skills in order to solve problems.
- Basic engineering principles
- Design process
- To solve challenges in a variety of engineering disciplines (e.g., mechanical, environmental, geological, and electrical)
Études de la famille 20G
This course looks at prenatal and infant development from birth to infant. Students have the opportunity to parent an electronic simulator baby. There is no prerequisite for this course.
Vêtement, habitation et dessin 20G
Students will use a knowledge of textiles and sewing skills as a vehicle to explore the practical application of the principles of design, fashion past and present, needs, preferences, values, and goals to clothing and housing choices. Basic materials will be supplied in class.
Pré-génie et étude technologique II 25G/25G
Prerequisite: Pré-génie et étude technologique I
Building on the foundational skills developed in Grade 9, students will continue to explore and develop their interests in the area of engineering. As with Year 1, this course is designed to use Project Based Learning as the instructional model. Students will be involved in problem-solving investigations and other engaging tasks that allow them to work in groups and/or individually to solve open-ended engineering problems. They will design, build, and test solutions they have planned and constructed. Students will be taught all required manufacturing skills, and how to safely utilize the equipment in the lab. Students should have the ability to meet deadlines and to work independently and cooperatively with others.
Pré-génie et étude technologique III 35G/35G
Prerequisite: Pré-génie et étude technologique II 25G/25G
Students will continue to refine their problem solving and manufacturing skills through project-based learning. Careers in engineering will be explored through hands-on projects using the engineering design process. Students will learn to professionally research, plan, develop, build, and test designs like an engineer. Using math, science, and technology students will develop ideas for open ended solutions. The ability to self-motivate, use time wisely, meet regular deadlines and learn independently are assets to this course.
Topics discussed:
- Career exploration
- Engineering by Design
- Design Software Applications
- Civil Engineering.
- Electrical Engineering
- Manufacturing Engineering
- Mechanical Engineering
- Environmental Engineering
Vêtement, habitation et dessin 30S
Students will examine the world of textile fabrics. Using an experimental approach, they will discover fabric qualities and design elements that ensure wise choices in clothing, household, and industry- related textile purchases. Practical projects allow students to further their skills in the use of textiles in areas such as interior decorating. Basic materials will be supplied in class.
Études de la famille 40S
Family Studies 40S aspires to identify and describe the physiological stages of growth and development during adolescence, adulthood, and through to old age as well as how each stage can be nurtured. The theories of human needs and how they apply to the aging adult will be examined as students will participate in a practical experience working with this sector of the population. Other concepts to be studied include diversity in families, parenthood, life choices, illness, death, and grieving. There is no prerequisite for this course.
