Engineering and Robotics
Level 1 (91160)
This course is the first of three double-period courses required for the completion of the CTE Engineering and Robotics program. This course will introduce students to a broad range of engineering technology topics such as magnetism, AC and DC circuit analysis, hydraulics, pneumatics, mechanical drive systems, ladder logic, soldering, and robotics. The fundamental skills and knowledge required in many types of careers in the electronics/electrical engineering technology fields will be discussed, including the technologies utilized in industry. Emphasis on the importance of ethical behavior and responsible attitude in the workplace is also a component of the course. A strong background in math, science, and technical writing will increase the student’s success.
Prerequisite(s): Successful completion of Algebra 1
Level 2 (91170)
This course is the second of three-double period courses required for the completion of the CTE Engineering and Robotics program. This course begins where Level 1 ended. Students will delve deeper into AC and DC circuit analysis, computer circuit simulation, robotics, capacitance, inductance, DC and AC motors, pneumatics, hydraulics, motor control, PLC programming, mechanical drives, and digital electronics.
Prerequisite(s): Successful completion of L1 Engineering and Robotics
Level 3 (91180)
This is the final double-period course required for the completion of the CTE Engineering and Robotics program. In this course, students will learn more process control, the integration of different systems, drafting skills, and project organization. Students will also work together to design and create projects that incorporate many of the skills learned throughout the 3 levels of Engineering and Robotics.
Prerequisite(s): Successful completion of L2 Engineering and Robotics
