Joseph "Tucker" Madawick '37
Award-Winning Industrial Designer
Considered a “Living Legend” by the Ford Motor Company and the RCA Corporation, Joseph “Tucker” Madawick led the design team of the famed Tucker automobile introduced in 1948 as the "Car of Tomorrow." He later worked at Studebaker on the 1953 Starliner, which won numerous international design awards and established Studebaker as a styling leader. In 1959 he joined RCA as Manager of Radio, Phonograph, Tape and Television Design where he developed a highly futuristic series of potential electronic product designs that eventually appeared (some 30 years later!) in retail stores. Mr. Madawick became President and Fellow in 1964 of the Industrial Designers Institute (IDI) and later, President and Fellow of its successor, the Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA).

Co-Requisite: AP Calculus
PLTW Principles of Engineering: Project Lead The Way Digital Electronics can lead to college credit through the Rochester Institute of Technology. Units of study include: Definition and Types of Engineering, Communication and Documentation, Design Process, Engineering Systems (Mechanisms, Thermodynamics, Fluid Systems, Electrical systems, Control Systems), Statics and Strength of Materials, Materials and Materials Testing, Engineering for Reliability, and an Introduction to Dynamics/Kinematics.
PLTW Aerospace Engineering: Aerospace Engineering can lead to college credit through the Rochester Institute of Technology. The following units are incorporated in the Aerospace course: History of Flight, Aerodynamics, Airfoil Construction, Wind Tunnel testing, Glider Design, GPS and Spatial Systems, Rocket Thrust and Trajectory, Orbital Mechanics, Life Support and Environmental Systems, Gravity & Microgravity, Composite Fabrication, Thermal Protection Systems, and Intelligent Vehicles.
AP Physics B*: This lab based course will prepare students for the AP Physics B* Examination in May through which students may earn college credit. Topics include: Newtonian Mechanics, Fluid Mechanics and Thermal Physics, Electricity & Magnetism, Waves & Optics, Atomic & Nuclear Physics.
AP Physics C*: This lab based course will prepare students for the AP Physics C* Examination in May through which students may earn college credit. Topics include: Newtonian Mechanics, Fluid Mechanics and Thermal Physics, Electricity & Magnetism, Waves & Optics, Atomic & Nuclear Physics. The course covers fewer topics than AP Physics B* but delves into greater depth using the calculus and a greater analytical focus.
Astronomy: Students will be exposed to the historical development of observational astronomy, including traditional and modern observational techniques. Theories of formation and evolution of stars, planets and galaxies, as well as discussions of current developments in astronomy, cosmology and astrophysics. Software will allow for the remote use of a telescope and there will be an emphasis on applied problem solving.
