Research & Design    310702, 310703

Research and Design is a course for the student who wants to explore engineering as a career. This course is project based. The student will learn the physics of how simple machines work through a series of hands on activities and projects. Problem solving is utilized to overcome problems of design, development, production, and the testing of a product. Topics covered are from both applied technology and science, which could include but not limited to; robotics, pneumatics, hydraulics, computer drafting, computer controlled machining, optics (including lasers), mechanical, electricity and magnetism. Students will work in design teams and present their achievements to the class in various competitions.

Level: 11,12     Semesters: 2     Credit:1
Prerequisite: 2 yrs science and completion of Algebra II or, Department Chair approval. 
Credit may be taken in Science, Applied Science & Technology or split between both.               Course Fee Required
