The Engineering Program provides students a hands-on experience with the process of using engineering and computer science to design, build, control, and improve real world machines.
This course is centered on two robotics competitions; one that takes place in the winter and a second competition that takes place in the spring. Students in this course will work together to design, build, and test a robot to compete at each meet. Along the way, students will develop skills in electronics, computer programming, mechanical design, Computer Aided Drawing (CAD), business, marketing, and teamwork. All students play an active role on the team and specialize in one area while learning a little bit about all areas. Students should see themselves as part of a company working together to design, build, market, and deliver an excellent product.
