Computer Robotics

Introduction to Robotics is a hands-on project based course that introduces students to the world of autonomous mechanical systems and the computer systems used to control them. The course exposes students to basic programming, mechanical systems, engineering design processes and collaborative work systems. Robotics gives students the opportunity to develop skills and understanding of course concepts through activities, projects, and problem-based learning. This course is designed to challenge students to continually hone their interpersonal skills, creative abilities, and problem solving. It also allows students to develop strategies to enable and direct their own learning.
 
Introduction to Engineering Design is one of the foundation courses in the Project Lead The Way (PLTW) high school engineering program. The course applies and concurrently develops secondary level knowledge and skills in mathematics, science, and technology.

Introduction to Engineering Design

This introduction course in the AXIS STEM Academy provides students with the foundational concepts required for pursuing career pathways within this industry sector. Introduction to Engineering Design (IED) is a hands-on project based course of engineering that focuses on the design aspects. The course exposes students to some of the major concepts that they will encounter in a postsecondary engineering course of study. IED gives students the opportunity to develop skills and understanding of course concepts through activities, projects, and problem-based learning. This course is designed to challenge students to continually hone their interpersonal skills, creative abilities, and problem solving skills based upon engineering concepts. It also allows students to develop strategies to enable and direct their own learning, which is the ultimate goal of education.

Principles of Engineering

Principles Of Engineering (POE) is a hands-on project based survey course of engineering. The course exposes students to some of the major concepts that they will encounter in a postsecondary engineering course of study. POE gives students the opportunity to develop skills and understanding of course concepts through activities, projects, and problem-based learning. This course is designed to challenge students to continually hone their interpersonal skills, creative abilities, and problem solving skills based upon engineering concepts. It also allows students to develop strategies to enable and direct their own learning, which is the ultimate goal of education.
