6840 ROBOTICS AND ENGINEERING I

 

Open to: Grades 10-12 Credit/Weight: 2.0 units/4.0
Prerequisite: Selection and Course Length: 2 terms/Full year  C or higher in Pre-Algebra
Robotics and Engineering I is a year-long class which focuses on various engineering topics and robotic
development and programming. The purpose of the engineering component is to provide students with expanded
knowledge of the use of technological skills and to enable them to solve problems by applying knowledge in a
technological context. The program is designed to provide students with hands-on experiences related to the
application of engineering concepts in the workplace. These topics include CAD, 3D printing, milling, physics,
electronics, graphic design, pneumatics and hydraulics. The focus of the robotics component is for students to design
and maintain robots, to explore various applications for them, and to exhibit their programming knowledge and
skills to students, other schools and related industry. Students will earn two high school credits: one science/phycredit and one elective credit. Robotics competitions are normally held on Saturdays.

There is a $30 class fee forthis class.6841

Robotics and Engineering I

Robotics and Engineering II is the second part of a two year program which focuses on further investigation of engineering topics and robotic development and programming. The purpose of the engineering component is to provide students with expanded knowledge of the use of technological skills and to enable them to solve problems by applying knowledge in a technological context. The program is designed to provide students with hands-onexperiences related to the application of engineering concepts in the workplace. These topics include CAD, 3Dprinting, milling, physics, electronics, graphic design, pneumatics and hydraulics. The focus of the robotics component is for students to design and maintain robots, to explore various applications for them, and to exhibit their programming knowledge and skills to students, other schools and related industry. Students who complete theprogram will be better prepared to enter and succeed in engineering programs offered by Mississippi community and junior colleges and institutions of higher education. In addition, students will earn two high school electives credits.Robotics competitions are normally held on Saturdays.

There is a $30 class fee for this class.
