Overview and Introduction:
Welcome to Mechatronics Engineering. This class is a High School Engineering class. This Introductory Unit is all about successfully starting my class. How to sign in. How to get access to class computers and networks. How to find a seat and a project. Make a name tag. Learn about the class norms. It will be an introduction to Mechatronics Engineering and to who Mr. Burnham is.
Mechatronics Engineering is a year-long, 519-hour Laboratory Science course, currently taught "in-Person at Silicon Valley Career Technical Education, located in San Jose CA. Mechatronics Engineering focusing on the scientific principles of physics, energy conservation, electronic sensing, computerized data acquisition, and automated process control. This Mechatronics Engineering course is designed to introduce students to the growing field of Mechatronics. Mechatronics is a blending of electrical and mechanical engineering & design. It is a study of the design of "intelligent" systems in which mechanization and control, requiring sensing, actuation, and computation are combined to achieve improved product quality and performance.
In this inquiry-grounded, project-based learning course, students act as engineers, designing, analyzing, and building systems that automate industrial processes. Students will engage in interdisciplinary learning of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math (STEAM) through a hands-on, project-based approach. Students who complete this curriculum will have the understanding of mechanical and electronic systems.
Students - Hybrid Learning Environment - The goal of this site is to provide a hybrid learning environment, where you, the Student, can access my Lessons, Lectures & Labs. Even if you are not in one of my "In Person" classes, you can learn and access most of my Lessons, Lectures & Labs remotely. Just scroll down and click on topics that look "Shiny" and look interesting.
Teachers - If you are a Teacher, you can scroll down to see the content that is accessible to all my Students, but you can also click on a "How I teach this introduction Module" page, for more information on how to teach this material, and access other Teacher specific content.
