Courses
Design and Problem Solving
This course is designed to teach students to the basic math, science and engineering principles of modern technology. Students will be involved in hands-on experiences with all aspects of scientific design and research. This course will expose students to master computer software applications in a variety of engineering and technical fields. Students will have extensive hands-on experience in the FIRST Robotics Program and be involved in district and community events. Students will develop yearlong projects in several major areas of current engineering development. Various engineering disciplines address a broad spectrum of design problems using specific concepts from the sciences and mathematics to derive a solution. The design process and problem solving are inherent to all engineering disciplines.
Principals of Engineering
This course focuses on the fundamentals of modern engineering. It provides an overview of the various fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics and their interrelationships. Students will have an understanding of how modern engineers use math and science together with ingenuity to design and build new technologies. Projects include robotic design, bridge construction, wind energy, aerodynamics and many others revolving around each of the major engineering disciplines.
ROBOTICS 1 & 2
The course is designed to expose the students to the “Engineering Principles of Modern Technology”. This course will expose the student to mastering computer software applications in a variety of engineering and technical fields. Students will have extensive hands-on in the FIRST Robotics Program and be involved in district and community events. Students will develop year-long projects in several major areas of current engineering development. Students will also work on designing and building their own drone model flight capable by the end of the year. In Robotics II, students will explore artificial intelligence and programming in the robotic and automation industry. Through implementation of the design process, students will transfer academic skills to component designs in a project-based environment. Students will build prototypes and use software to test their designs. Drone testing, integration and automation will be implemented. Students will also have the opportunity to design a drone using a 3-D printer
