Here is the proposed course description:
ELECTRONIC INVENTIONS (.5 CREDIT)
Description: The Electronic Inventions course is an elective in the Engineering pathway. Many aspects of electronic inventions are covered including the mechanics of motors, servos, torque, and gear ratios; creation of electrical circuits including, breadboards, conductors, switches, LEDs, resistors, diodes, and microcontrollers; procedural programming including variables, constants, loops, and functions; the use of sensors including touch, light, sound, and proximity; the Engineering Product Development Process, and Project Management. Students take on professional engineering scientists’ roles as they work in teams on project-based learning activities. Students start each project with an idea for how to use electronic automation to solve a problem or meet a need. Projects are limited only by the imagination and can span a wide variety of applications such as convenience, safety, medical, musical, fine arts, communication, entertainment, transportation, or environmental. For each project, students work through the three phases of: Explore, Create, and Share. In the explore phase, students develop the knowledge and understanding required to meet the identified goals. In the Create phase, students demonstrate, and defend their solutions. Students use industry-quality hands-on equipment and software as they work through the three phases of each project.
