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.
