| COURSE TITLE (503) | Intro to Robotics (Sem. 1) |
| LEVEL | Regular |
| GRADE(S) | 11, 12 |
| CREDITS | 2.5 |
| COURSE DESCRIPTION | |
| A course for those seeking an introduction to the world of building and programming robots. The course focuses primarily on the use of Lego Mindstorms Robotics Systems, but may introduce additional information when appropriate. Students will be introduced to the motors, sensors and other building pieces that make up productive robots, will build robots from instructional sets to learn how parts of the robot begin to work together, and will program their robots to interact with the world. | |
| PREREQUISITE | An interest in learning about robotics and block programming. |
| COURSE TITLE (505) | Robotics 1 (Sem. 2) |
| LEVEL | Regular |
| GRADE(S) | 11, 12 |
| CREDITS | 2.5 |
| COURSE DESCRIPTION | |
| Through project-based learning, students will be presented with challenges asking them to plan, design, build, and program robots to complete a task. Working collaboratively in small groups or as an entire class, students will get further experience in the engineering design process. The course focuses primarily on the use of Lego Mindstorms Robotics Systems, but may introduce additional information when appropriate. | |
| PREREQUISITE | Completion of Introduction to Robotics or outside experience in robotics with approval from the Robotics teacher, Ms. Scutieri and the Learning Area Administrator, Dr. Piasecki. |
| COURSE TITLE (508) | Engineering: Innovation and Design |
| LEVEL | Honors |
| GRADE(S) | 11, 12 |
| CREDITS | 5.0 |
| COURSE DESCRIPTION | |
| A hands-on, project-based course allowing students to create, innovate, and design. Collaborating in groups, students will work on developing solutions and applying skills to real-world challenges. Using the engineering design process, students will apply mathematical thinking, science skills, creativity, and social justice to aid in the development of their solutions. Exposure to concepts from several branches of engineering and design and decision-making concepts (such as Gantt charts, budgets, and criteria ranking) will be introduced. Completion of or concurrent enrollment in Physics is helpful, but not required. | |
| PREREQUISITE | Successful completion of Geometry Honors or Accelerated with a C+ or better or approval of the Learning Area Administrator, Dr. Piasecki. |
