Course: 1836CT; Credit: 1
Length: 18 weeks (1 semester)
Description: This course is designed to help students understand the field of engineering/engineering technology by exploring various technology systems and manufacturing processes. The activities and projects offered through this course are designed to help students learn how engineers and technicians use math, science, and technology in an engineering problem solving process. This course allows students the opportunity to earn transcripted college credit or to articulate college credit hours upon high school graduation through participating college/university Tech Prep programs. This is a Project Lead the Way course. Note: Course
can be used as an additional science credit for graduation.
Description: Students enrolled in this course will demonstrate knowledge and skills necessary for the robotic and automation industry. Through implementation of the design process, students will transfer advanced academic skills to component designs in a project-based environment. Students will build prototypes or use simulation software to test their designs. Additionally, students explore career opportunities, employer expectations and educational needs in the robotic and automation industry.
Description: 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.
