Robotics I

 


Our robotics course develops and expands students' skills and knowledge so that they can design and develop robotic devices. Topics covered in the course may include mechanics, electrical and motor controls, pneumatics, computer basics, and programmable logic controllers. This course will fulfill CTE requirement and will receive college credit at Triton. Course will be taught by Triton Adjunct professor and co-taught with PMSA teacher that has an Engineering background.

The students will receive 2 credit hours per semester from Triton. The course will be taught after school from 3:30 to 5:00 twice a week.

Course Mission

  1. Upon successful completion of this course the students will be able to identify a variety of robot applications, types, and configurations, build a robot chassis and program the drive functions for the robot using LabView software from conceptual sketches and action list to safely building the final product.
