Brooklyn Technical High School

 

 

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.

 

PLTW Principles of Engineering:

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 Computer Integrated Manufacturing: Computer Modeling (Fundamentals, Object Construction, Parts Modeling, Working Drawings, Surface Modeling, Rapid Prototyping), CNC Machining (History of Programmable Machining, CNC Characteristics, CNC Programming, CNC Operation, CAM Software), Robotics (Robotics and Automated Systems, Controllers, Programming, End Effectors, Applications) , and actual Computer Integrated Manufacturing.

 

Engineering Design & Development (EDD): This senior capstone course immerses students in a full research project in engineering design from brainstorming to prototyping. A formal research paper and presentation are required and students are expected to submit their projects into local, state and national competitions.
