Technical Department lawrence McNeill All areas of technology today are changing very ra- pidly. We are approaching an age where machinery even does the thinl ing for us as well as the physical labour. To keep up with these changes in technology, the technical program in schools must constantly be revised. In the very near future, many of the areas of specialization that we now know will be combined to give a student a more gen- eral technical education. Instead of specializing in a part- icular subject, such as Machine Shop, the student will spec- ialize in the broader field of Mechanical Technology. This course will consist of approximately equal time in each of Machine Shop and Mechanical Drafting, with related sub- jects offered when required. Electrical Technology will consist of Electronics and Electrical Theory and Practice, with Machine Shop and Mechanical Drafting interspersed at various times throughout the course when needed. Construction Technology will consist of the now offered specialities of Building Construction and Archi- tectural Drafting. Related material will be taken when required in the course. The Automotive Technology course will remain much the way it is offered now with little change. One may well ask the purpose of taking a technical option. The answer is simple. It is to help prepare the student to enter the world of industry where he can con- tribute to the general good of society and to make his own living. With a secondary school technical education, the student has only started on a long road of education in the technical specialty of his choice. He essentially has two roads opened before him when he graduates. He may enter an apprenticeship as a future electrician, carpenter, machinist, draftsman or auto mechanic, in which case his secondary school technical education will be counted. Or he may further his technical education in an Institute of Technology such as Mohawk College, graduate as a technician recognized by the Association of Professional Engineers of Ontario, and ready to begin work as a skil- led, contributing member of the labour force.
