Course Description: Robotics I is an introductory course where students will use robots to learn about engineering and engineering problem solving. They will be given introductions to the VEX Robotics Design Systems and Autodesk Inventor. Key STEM principles will be discovered through a process that captures the excitement and engagement of robotics competition. The curriculum is focused on mechatronic principles, programming is not required. Students acquire a basic understanding of many types of robots, how they operate and their application in manufacturing and entertainment. Students will be able to define important terms associated with robots, explain the different types of drive systems, and robotic sensors found in robotics. High tech machines such as 3d printers, and laser cutter engravers will also be incorporated into the course. *Students are required to have a minimum of a 2.0 grade point average in the Science of Engineering course in order to enroll. Expected Level of Achievements (District Grading Scale) A (4): 93% - 100% B (3): 85% - 92 % C (2): 77% - 84% D (1): 69% - 76% F (0): 68% and Below
