| This course is designed for those students interested in Engineering as a career. The course provides hands on instruction in a variety of related technologies. Scientific principles, mathematical concepts, and communication skills are experienced and learned through an activity oriented approach. Robotics, electronics, fluid systems, mechanical mechanisms and computer design technologies will be explored. Using a team approach, students will research, design and build projects for practical application as well as possible competitive events. Students will combine interdisciplinary skills to produce a final product using design systems. Projects will include team design of an engineering problem, a production plan, engineering drawing, cost estimate and a technical report. This course introduces the student to the world of engineering and technology by learning about the fields of engineering and experiencing three-dimensional thinking while problem solving. The fields of engineering, CAD, mechanics, computer technology, electronics and robotics have been chosen for their implication in the economics of the Silicon Valley. |
