TECHNOLOGY GUIDELINES
Technology involves the study and use of machinery and computers for both combat and practical applications. Students who have greater mental capacity excel in this field. Technology is divided into two primary classes:
Software
Software students are skilled problem-solvers, learning within a wide breadth of concentrations such communication systems, intelligent systems, and databases. In addition, they are also taught to a degree the art of hacking. Software classes deal in the ability to change, manipulate, and recreate software and how to manipulate someone else’s software. This includes application software, which enables a user to perform a task, and system software such as an operating system, which enables other software to run properly.
Upper levels involve altering a software to the point where the system can perform tasks radically different than their original programming allows—such as turning a writing program into a complete email program or a virus program into a seek-and-destroy anti-virus.
Hardware
Hardware students choose their concentrations from the fields of electrical and mechanical engineering and develop a deep understanding of the construction of machinery as they progress through their academic career. Hardware deals in the ability to break down, take apart, identify, and reassemble various electrical and mechanical parts. Hardware focuses not only in computers but in various electrical devices such as phones, fax machines, etc. Hardware.
Upper levels involve altering or modifying hardware to add additional functions, such as rewiring a fax machine or a phone to connect with double locations without the faxer’s knowledge, rewiring computer circuitry to effect functions, or creating advanced hardware systems from scratch.
*Hybrid/Robotics
Many students opt to take classes in both software and hardware, making mechanical creations that function based on a programmed algorithm. A popular topic in the Hybrid field is that of Robotics. Students who take both Hardware and Software classes are the only ones allowed to take Robotics classes, which deals in the ability to create and program advanced machinery, computers, and systems.
