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
Principles of Engineering 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 Digital Electronics: Digital Electronics can lead to college credit through the Rochester Institute of Technology. The following units are incorporated in the DE class: Fundamentals including safety, basic electron theory, prefixes and engineering notation, resistors, electrical laws, capacitance, analog and digital waveforms. The course also includes number systems, logic gates, Boolean expressions, logic simplifications, and duality of logic functions. Combinational Circuit Design including a paradigm for combinational logic problems, specific application MSI gates, programmable logic devices (PLD), and binary addition. Flip Flops, shift registers, logic families sand spec sheets also lead to microcontrollers and interfacing with motors.
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.
Robotics: Includes elements of robot design and fabrication in a machine shop setting. Units of study include pneumatics, hydraulics, elementary computer programming, optimization, task analysis and elementary game theory. Students will prepare for competition in the US FIRST Robotics Competition.
