Engineering with Mr. Linthicum

Engineering Courses Offered

Engineering Design 1 - 2 (CTE 401, 402)

Full Year Course

OPEN TO GRADES: 9, 10, 11, 12

PREREQUISITE: None

CROSS CREDIT: Meets 3rd year Math Algebra Requirement

College credit may be available for this course.

Students will have an opportunity to further investigate engineering, architecture and high-tech careers to develop skills and understanding of engineering principles. Students further employ engineering and scientific concepts in the solution of engineering and architecture design problems. They will continue to develop problem-solving skills and apply their knowledge of research and design to create solutions to various challenges. Students will have the opportunity to join school technology clubs that are involved in robotics, architecture, and engineering activities.

Systems Design 1 - 2 (CTE 389, 390)

Full Year Course

OPEN TO GRADES: 9, 10, 11, 12

PREREQUISITE: None

CROSS CREDIT: Math

May not satisfy four-year college entrance requirements.

This is an introductory course into the world of robotics. The students will both program and operate EV3 Robots and additional platforms as they explore and learn to operate and build robot bases to perform tasks in class. As a student in the class, the robotics technology students will have the opportunity to build and compete with a variety of robots in and out of the classroom including participating in FIRST ROBOTICS (National Organization), TSA, etc. This class will focus on robotic Technologies. Students will conduct lab experiments while learning the theory of force, work, rate, resistance, energy, power, and force transformers and how each applies to Robotics.
