ROBOTICS Syllabus Ms. Davis [email protected]
Course Description:
The Robotics class will be divided into five technical and engineering areas mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, and computer Controlled. Students enrolling in this class will be divided into design teams. The student teams will use design and problem solving methods to find solutions to problems presented and complete activities that compliment each area, as well as combine areas together. The students will consider the ethics and responsibilities relating to each design process. The team will develop a Portfolio tracking the team’s progress through the challenge as well as research careers that pertain to each. After finding solutions for a “Request for proposal” (RFP), BEST or FTC challenge for each design area the student team will make an oral and visual presentation incorporating materials created for their portfolio. The course is organized around design learning teams. Each team will rotate through the technical and engineering areas during the time that is available for the course. While the student teams will be given as much latitude to explore, invent and design as time allows, they will be accountable for the time allotment given. Attendance will be a priority. This class is based on participation, when a team member is absent, often the team’s total accomplishment will suffer. The student will be held responsible for completing any assignments they have missed, they are able to accomplish this during scheduled make up times, no class time will be provided.
Daily classroom supplies:
Supplied by the student - Engineering notebook (a composition book or a 5 x 7 will work) and a pencil. Special Supplies Requirements: will be covered under a $5.00 lab fee other materials will be Re-cycle type materials such as soft drink cans, paper towel tubes, Pringle’s cans, etc.
Extra credit is available –
Students may write a one page summary on a current event involving NASA. All extra credit work must be turned in 2 weeks prior to the end of the semester.
