Students will be introduced to a variety of engineering fields and investigate basic principles within those fields. Working in groups of 2 or exploring on their own, students will be given challenges and design engineering and electronic solutions. Once the solution has been realized, a prototype will be built and tested. Everything must have a plan before it is built; so, this course will also introduce students to the concepts of design and visual communication by developing skills in sketching and technical drawings. As a part of this course, students will learn how to use a variety of materials and equipment to produce the prototype projects. Students will be also introduced to ACAD and Arduino programs as well as fundamentals of electronics. Students will experiment with a variety of electronic components on a solderless breadboard. They will demonstrate an understanding of basic circuits before proceeding to program Arduino microcontrollers and apply basic electronics skills to explore robotics.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-271\" src=\"https:\/\/vcasey.caseyservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Cyborg-mask-project-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vcasey.caseyservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Cyborg-mask-project-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/vcasey.caseyservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Cyborg-mask-project-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-270\" src=\"https:\/\/vcasey.caseyservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Cyborg-mask-Arduino-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vcasey.caseyservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Cyborg-mask-Arduino-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/vcasey.caseyservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Cyborg-mask-Arduino-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-269\" src=\"https:\/\/vcasey.caseyservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Arduino-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vcasey.caseyservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Arduino-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/vcasey.caseyservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Arduino-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-268\" src=\"https:\/\/vcasey.caseyservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Arduino-remote-control-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vcasey.caseyservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Arduino-remote-control-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/vcasey.caseyservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Arduino-remote-control-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Projects may include the Great Earthquake challenge, a Mini-Gravity Car and a remote-controlled Cyborg Mask.<\/p>\n<p>To see examples of students projects visit Electronics 9 and Engineering 9 pages of this website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mechatronics 9\u00a0is a new combo course offered starting September 2022.
