What Can You Do After This High School Mechatronics Engineering Class?

After taking this High School focused Mechatronics Engineering class, you will be prepared to jump into Internships and Entry Level jobs focused on Electrical, Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering.  You will have skills in: 

• Lab Tools and Equipment - We will learn how to use Soldering Irons, where you will do through hole, and some surfice mount soldering.  You will learn how to use a Digital Multi Meter (DMM), Oscilloscope, bench top power supplies and other Electronic Bench tools.  

• Beginning Level Coding - This means you should have a basic understanding of C++ and Python coding.  You should understand the basic coding constructs like Variables, If statements, While and For loops, basic data structures like Arrays, List, Tuples and Dictionaries.

• Built Projects with Arduino and Raspberry Pi - You will use your coding experience to build projects with the Arduino microcontroller and the Raspberry Pi Linux Microcontroller.  The projects will have helped you lean about Sensors and how to process the interaction between sensing the world, processing the inputs with code and then controlling the world with small DC motors, Servos and other electromechanical devices.

• Introductory CAD and 3D Printing - you will have an introductory knowlage of some CAD tools, and experiance designing 3D Print models, and intercting with a few diffrent 3D Printer platforms.
