This course introduces students to the fundamental concepts of Engineering and Technology by communicating the basic principles of robotics. Students will use a hands-on approach to explore basic concepts and tangible learning applications with mobile robots, starting with building simple mobile robots and expanding on their design complexity throughout the course. This objective is supported with hands-on activities, team building collaboration, labs, lecture, and working through the engineering design process and scientific method. We will combine direct instruction with hands-on building using the Vex IQ Robotics Kit and expose students to programming using applications including Vex IQ Block.
