SCI701A

SCI701A is a physical science course that provides an opportunity for students to develop scientific literacy through the use of technology and a robotics design and construction context. It contains a balance of theory, design, and experimental activities. Topics studied in this course include: ● Robot Subsystems; ● Radio Controlled Robot Design and Assembly; ● Speed (rotational, translational), Torque and Gear Ratios; ● Mechanical Systems (traction, manipulator, rotating joints, linkages); and ● Research Project (STEAM product development and application). In a collaborative environment, this course will provide opportunities for those students interested in careers related to applied technology, engineering, and the skilled trades.
