#HISTORY OF AUTOMATION PLTW SOFTWARE#
In addition, students use Revitt 3D design software to design and document solutions for major course projects. Students learn about various aspects of civil engineering and architecture and apply their knowledge to the design and developmental of residential and commercial properties and structures.
Students will learn to program and operate a CNC machine. Students will continue to build systems using the Vex Robotics materials and RobotC software. Students learn about the history of manufacturing, robotics and automation, manufacturing processes, computer modeling, manufacturing equipment, and flexible manufacturing systems. Students are encouraged to pursue side projects in their spare time. This course includes about 60% hands-on projects and 40% computer work and engineering math applications. Master basic concepts needed to continue your education in engineering or engineering technology - then apply them! Students will build simple and compound machines, electric circuits, power systems, hydraulic systems, and control systems that include Vex robotics materials and RobotC software. This course includes about 70% computer work and 30% hands-on activities. Students will learn to use 3D Printers and a Laser Engraver. Work in teams to design and improve products, document your solutions, and communicate them to others. Using Inventor - 3D design software from AutoDesk - work on projects, activities, and problems not only of interest to you, but that have global and human impacts. Discover the roles of an engineer and engineering technician in taking an idea from design to manufacturing or production.
