TE11411 ROBOTICS 1
SEMESTER CREDIT 0.5
Fee: $25
Satisfies one of the following: 0.5 elective, 0.5 Technology elective, 0.5 Practical Arts elective
Grades: 9-12
UNMLA Dual Credit: ELCT combined with TE11511
Perquisites: none
◆ First part of UNM Dual Credit course ELCT 162. This course uses robotic applications to solve a variety of engineering challenges and competitions, using electrical and mechanical systems. Students design, build, and program various robotic devices, using the engineering design process to refine their creations. Scientific and engineering principles, as well as creative use of sensors and programming, will be emphasized. This is a project based, problem-solving, hands-on course. This course is NOT part of an Associate's Degree or Certificate program/pathway through LAECCA. (1732)
Note: Students will also have the opportunity to join the FIRST Robotics FRC Team (FIRST Robotics Competition). Dubbed a “varsity sport of the mind”, FRC combines the excitement of sport with the rigors of science and technology. The team will design, build and program a robot to perform prescribed tasks against a field of competitors. It’s as close to “real world” engineering as a student can get. The team will compete in regional and national competitions.
