TECHNICAL CURRICULUM:

            The Technical Curriculum responds to the DepEd – BEC requirements in the Technology and Home Economics areas. It is articulated with the Academic Curriculum to prepare the high school students to pursue technological courses in college as stated in the vision statement of the school. The courses offered in this curriculum include Automotive Technology, Mechanical Technology, Computer Technology, Electrical Technology, Electronics Technology, and Industrial Drafting Technology. The curriculum follows the spiral mode where the 1st and 2nd year students are exposed to General Technology in the four cluster areas namely; Automotive-Mechanical Technology, Electro-electrical technology, Computer Technology and Industrial Drafting technology. The time allotment for each cluster area is eight (8) hours per week.

            By the end of the 2nd year level, the students are evaluated for specialization in Automotive Technology, Mechanical Technology, Computer Technology, Electronics Technology, Electrical Technology, and Industrial Drafting Technology for 3rd and 4th year levels. The evaluation for specialization is based on the Aptitude Test, average grade from 1st to 4th quarters in 1st year and 1st to 3rd quarters in 2nd year. Students are asked to make their choice of Technology for specialization but used as a reference only.

            In the specialized Technology in 3rd  and 4th years, nine (9) hours per week are allotted as follows:

Automotive Technology: 2 hrs. Technology; 6 hrs. Shopwork; 1 hr. CADD
Mechanical Technology: 2 hrs. Technology; 6 hrs. Shopwork; 1 hr. CADD
Electronics Technology; 3 hrs. Technology; 5 hrs. Shopwork; 1 hr. CADD
Electrical Technology;    3 hrs. Technology; 5 hrs. Shopwork; 1 hr. CADD
Computer Technology:   2 hrs. Technology; 6 hrs. Shopwork; 1 hr. CADD
Industrial Drafting Technology: 2 hrs. Technology; 5 hrs. Shopwork; 2 hrs. CADD

            The TECHNOLOGY aspect introduces the students to the major concepts and principles offered by  each area of specialization.

            It is during SHOPWORK or the manual part where the students are guided to put into actual practice what they have acquired in theories.

            BASIC CADD:     The 3rd year students are taught how to translate 2-Dimensional Drawings or designs using AutoCad software applying the same concepts and principles they have acquired in Drafting, Technology and Shopwork.

            ADVANCE CAD:    The 4th year students are taught on how  to develop skills in creating realistic  3D drawings and designs with  full color rendering using the  AutoCad software.

           
AUTOMOTIVE TECHNOLOGY 3 & 4

            Automotive Technology 3 and 4  prepares the 3rd and 4th year students for a basic technician course in Basic Automotive Mechanics and for technology-related course in college. It develops in the students a minimum degree of basic theories and skills in automotive technology. It guides students interpret a design and perform basic automobile servicing, electrical system and  engine trouble shooting, overhauling,  testing  and assembling of both gasoline and diesel  engines  based on standard specification with the use of manual and power tools.

            Mechanical Technology 4  focuses on the mastery in using machine and precision measuring tools that are used in translating  a creative design into a functional mechanical unit.

ELECTRONICS TECHNOLOGY 3 & 4

Electronics Technology 3 and 4 provides students with maximum background on electronics principles and ideas – its practical application and uses. It deals with the general study of basic circuitry involving passive and active components and their applications and the discreet semiconductor devices and circuitry, both analog and digital.

            Electronics Technology 3 emphasizes on how to interpret and assemble different basic electronics circuits and operate electronic precision measuring instruments.

            Electronics Technology 4 teaches the students on how to design and construct electronic communication system and test communication circuit project and phase control electronic components.

ELECTRICAL TECHNOLOGY 3 & 4

Electrical Technology 3 and 4 provides the students with thorough comprehension and application on the principles of electricity and its related fields to allow them to meet and handle practical and technical problems in residential, commercial and industrial situations.

Electrical Technology 3 emphasizes on relating alternating current (ac) and all its underlying principles and applications with different laws and theories of direct current, mathematics and other sciences which will be used in performing  basic residential wiring, and construct an electrical plan for a residential consumer.

             Electrical Technology 4 emphasizes on Industrial Electricity and all its underlying principles and applications with the current industrial technology which will be used in creating designs, constructing and troubleshooting  different types of Industrial controls.

COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY 3 & 4

            Computer Technology 3 and 4 prepares high school students for computer courses and other technology-related courses in college and for basic and practical use of computer in an increasingly information-oriented society. 

            Computer Technology 3 deals with Digital Circuit Design and PC Assembly in which the students learn the underlying foundation of digital electronics, PC assembly and troubleshooting. It also covers  Web Design, Web Animation and Programming using Macromedia Dreamweaver and Fireworks and  Visual Basic.NET as a tool in understanding object-oriented programming.

            Computer Technology 4 focuses on   Networking Fundamentals and Systems Analysis and Design. It also includes Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS) using MS Access and MySQL and Advanced Programming using Java and C language.
