Computer Aided Design (CAD)
One-Half Year, 0.5 Credits
This course is an introduction to the many advantages of applying computer technology to the design and drafting areas of industry. The skills mastered in this course are highly marketable in the engineering, fabrication, fashion, landscape design and manufacturing industries here on Long Island.
Prerequisite: Technical Drawing or Design and Drawing for Production
Design and Drawing for Production
One-Half Year, 0.5 Credits
This course is an introduction to a universal graphic language through which students can express their ideas with creativity, clarity and exactness. This class teaches technical drawing through design problem solving and stresses that design is the creative element and technical drawing is the expression of design. Students are encouraged to solve visual problems using a common technical drawing language to describe forms in the man-made environment. This course fulfills the one unit of the Art or Music credit requirement for any student towards a Regents or Local diploma.
Digital Electronics
One-Half Year, 0.5 Credits
This course is a study of binary logic, decision-making logic gates and combination logic circuits, digital signals, number systems, gate symbols and truth tables necessary for the complete understanding of digital circuits and systems found in the home and commercial electronic equipment and computer systems. Logic systems, sequential logic circuits and logic systems applications are included. The students will complete digital kits and a telephone kit by soldering in all necessary components. This course may be used as part of the three year science requirement.
Prerequisite: Electricity/Electronics; successful completion of Algebra I
Architectural Drawing
One-Half Year, 0.5 Credits
This course deals with the history and development of architectural design, construction techniques and materials, and building codes. Emphasis is placed on residential construction with room planning, traffic patterns, floor plans and elevation drawings.
Prerequisite: Technical Drawing or Design and Drawing for Production
Technical Drawing
One-Half Year, 0.5 Credits
The student will be introduced to the basic elements and processes of technical drawing that are common to many industries, trades and occupations. Students will record ideas and objects in the form of sketches, estimate proportions, develop line values, complete object and line exercises using the tools, equipment and materials of the draftsperson. They will also describe the Alphabet of Lines, construct horizontal, vertical, inclined, perpendicular and parallel lines using T squares and triangles, produce lettering that is compatible with ANSI standards, space numbers, fractions, letters, words and lines for uniformity of appearance. Students will explain standard dimensioning practices, investigate career opportunities in the field of technical drawing, solve geometric construction problems, identify various types of sections and prepare an isometric drawing and an auxiliary view.
Principles of Engineering
Full-Year, 1.0 Credits
This is a capstone course, which brings math, science and technology together. In this course students will be solving problems, just as engineers do, by being a member of a team and using common engineering concepts. Incorporating problem solving activities, the students will learn the concepts of modeling, systems, optimization, technology, societal interaction and design and ethics. The problems worked on in class will focus upon robotics, structures, automobile safety, energy and ergonomics. This course may be used as part of the three year science requirement. This course is highly recommended for students pursuing a STEM career.
Prerequisite: This course is open to students in 11th and 12th grade; two years of Regents Science and Algebra; desirable co or prerequisites: Physics and Technical Drawing or Design and Drawing for Production and teacher recommendation.
Robotics
One-Half Year, 0.5 Credits
Students are encouraged to join the Robotics Club and participate in the FIRST Robotics Competition. The course is designed to interest students in the field of robotics and motivate them to pursue advanced education in science and engineering. This course prepares individuals to apply basic engineering principles and technical skills in developing and using industrial robotics. Robotics includes instruction in the principles of robotics, design and operational testing, system maintenance and repair procedures, robotics computer systems, control language and safety.
Prerequisite: This course is open to any student who is interested in Robotics.
Robotics II
One-Half Year, 0.5 Credits
Students will explore the field of robotic design using a variety of hands-on activities. Tools to create robotic devices such as the machine lathe and machine mill will be introduced. Students will be creating simple drive trains and robotic mechanisms capable of movement through teleoperated interaction. Programing of the robot will be done through LabView Visual Programming Language. Students will then be taught to program the robot so that it can be autonomously navigated. Students will be eligible for credit through Farmingdale State College if they choose to pay the reduced tuition rate.
Prerequisite: Robotics.
Robotics Lab 11 & 12
One-Half Year, 0.5 Credits
This is a lab based course which allows students to expand their knowledge on various robotics systems. Students will work in small groups to research, analyze and implement engineering concepts related to robotics. Groups will then collaborate to produce a working robotic prototype. Potential Research topics: fabrication, drive trains, manipulators, pneumatics, lab view programming.
Prerequisite: Successful completion of Robotics I and II.
