Course Description:
	Robotics Engineering will explore the relations between science and technology. The program is designed to introduce students to basic concepts in robotics. Course information will be tied to lab experiments where students will work in teams to build and test complex VEX-based mobile robots. Included in this instruction will be the historical development of robotics as a field, the importance of integrating sensors, effectors and controls, basic control, the key approaches to mobile robot control (reactive, behavior-based, and hybrid), and discussion of robot learning and multi-robot systems history. Students will work in small teams to research, design, program, and construct robotic devices in competitions amongst each other and other schools in the area. Integrated throughout the course are career preparation standards which include basic academic skills, communicating individual and team ideas, interpersonal skills, problem solving abilities, safety, technology, and employment literacy. This course is based on the curriculum developed by Carnegie Mellon�s Robotics Academy (http://education.rec.ri.cmu.edu/ (http://education.rec.ri.cmu.edu/)) VEX Curriculum 2.0 Carnegie Mellon�s Robotic Academy is housed in the National Robotics Engineering Center (NREC), where robots for business, government, and industry are designed, prototyped, and tested.
