Students enrolled in this course will demonstrate knowledge and skills necessary for the robotic and automation industry. Through implementation of the design process, students will transfer advanced academic skills to component designs in a project -based environment. Students will build prototypes or use simulation software to test their designs. Additionally, students explore career opportunities, employer expectations, and educational needs in the robotics and automation industry. The students may be required to pass a safety test(s) demonstrating 100% mastery before being allowed to participate in lessons that require use of equipment or tools.
