Principles of Engineering and Technology
Prerequisites: None
Principles of Engineering and Technology is a foundational course for students interested in learning more about careers in engineering and technology. This course covers basic skills required for engineering and technology fields of study. Upon completion of this course, proficient students are able to identify, explain, and utilize the engineering design process. They can evaluate an existing engineering design, use fundamental sketching and engineering drawing techniques, complete simple design projects using the engineering design process, and effectively communicate design solutions to others. A blend of 3D printing, CNC manufacturing, robotics, and aquaponics projects can be expected. A highlight of this course is the opportunity to earn the Snap-On Tools Precision Measurement Instruments industry certification, which is highly beneficial for any STEM related occupation.
Digital Electronics
Prerequisites: Principals of Engineering and Technology
Digital Electronics is intended to provide students with an introduction to the basic components of digital electronic systems and equip them with the ability to use these components to design more complex digital systems. Proficient students will be able to (1) describe basic functions of digital components, (2) use these devices as building blocks to design larger, more complex circuits, (3) implement these circuits using programmable devices, and (4) effectively communicate designs and systems. Students will complete competitive projects which utilize sensors, microcontrollers, and output devices as a system to complete a given task.
Robotics & Automated Systems
Prerequisites: Principals of Engineering and Technology & Digital Electronics
Robotics & Automated Systems is an applied course for students who wish to explore how robots and automated systems are used in industry. Upon completion of this course, proficient students will have an understanding of the historical and current uses of robots and automated systems, programmable circuits, interfacing both inputs and outputs, ethical standards for engineering and technology professions, and testing and maintenance of robots and automated systems. As a highlight of this course, students will work in teams to design and build robots for the exciting and highly competitive VEX EDR Robotics competition.
