SCANS Objectives
SCANS is an acronym for Secretary’s Commission on Achieving Necessary Skills. The committee,
appointed by the National Secretary of Labor in 1990, created a list of skills and competencies that
continue to be a valuable resource for individuals developing their careers in a high-tech job market. For
more information on the SCANS objectives, visit the U.S. Department of Labor Employment and Training
Administration: www.doleta.gov.
The following SCANS objectives are designated for this course:
1. Communicate thoughts, ideas, information, and messages through the use of the graphic
language and technical drawings.
2. Participate in conversation, discussion, and group presentations about the engineering design
process and technical drawings.
3. Utilize a systematic problem-solving process to analyze and solve a problem.
4. Employ computers to acquire, organize, analyze, and communicate information.
5. Apply and adapt new knowledge and skills in both familiar and changing situations.
6. Demonstrate creative thinking processes by generating new ideas or original combinations of
ideas.

NOTE: This course is designed to encourage a variety of teaching strategies that support the course
objectives while fostering students’ higher cognitive skills. Your instructor will strive to use multiple styles
to deliver content and inspire and engage students, such as lectures, collaborative learning options,
hands-on laboratory activities, guest speakers, Internet-based communications, educational software,
and field trips. Classroom practices should create a climate that indicates high values with respect to both
diversity and inclusiveness, promoting useful interactions between students and between students and
the instructor and assuring that communication methods are accessible to all students. Your instructor
should make available lesson plans, course materials, notes, and other information resources that are
flexible and accessible to all students before the theory portion of the class.
The course is composed of both theory and laboratory components. Your progress will be regularly
assessed.
