Robotics Engineering 1-2
Robotics Engineering explores the interaction of science and technology. The program is designed to interest students in the field of robotics and motivate them to pursue advanced education in science and engineering. Computer programming is emphasized. Using student centered, hands-on, problem-based learning model, students work in small groups to design, program, and construct robotic devices used in small class competitions, and possibly including competition at NASA’s U.S. FIRST. Integrated throughout the course are skills such as communication, interpersonal skills, problem solving, workplace safety, and technology and employment literacy.
