Office:
Room G080
Hours: 3rd Period and 6th Period or By Appointment
Textbooks:
Basic Robotics (2015) Dinwiddie
Basic Robotics: Student Activities & Lab Manual (2015) Dinwiddie
Prerequisites:
Successful completion of Algebra 150
Course Rationale:
The competition for jobs will mandate sharp competition requiring cutting, if not bleeding edge skills. Students will need
years of training and practice with ongoing skills development. This course will provide skills necessary for low level
entry into the work field but more importantly will provide students with skills suitable for students to excel at the post-
secondary level as they continue their education and training for career placement in the field of Robotics Technician.
Sanctions for breaches in academic integrity may range, depending on the severity of the offense from an F grade on an
assignment or test to an F in the course. Severe cases and/or repeat offenses of academic dishonesty may also result in
more severe disciplinary sanctions up to and including suspension or expulsion as determined by the administration team.
Classroom Materials:
1) Notebook: (to be used as a journal and left in the classroom.)
2) Ear Buds: (not mandatory, but it may be beneficial with some lessons)
3) Pen / Pencil: (to be used in class)
Graduate Goals:
1) Familiarization with software, techniques and procedures for manipulating, building and maintaining robotics
equipment.
2) Ability to build, design and create effective robots to perform programmed tasks as required.
3) Knowledge and awareness of safe and legal use of the internet, software, hardware as a resource for a robotics
career.

4) Ability to produce and create simple animations suitable for class requirements and competitions.
5) Ability to combine technologies of digital cameras, sensors, motors, etc. into an organized robotics presentation.
6) Knowledge of careers, duties, salaries and colleges related to robots and the fields of robotics.
7) Completion of a Capstone research project.
Evaluations of Students:
Assessment is a way of measuring what students know and defining what is important for students to learn. It is an
integral part of the learning process and occurs throughout instruction. A variety of alternative assessment methods are
used for student evaluation which may include, but are not limited to the following:

inequalities graphically.
Functions Overview
- Interpreting Functions (F-IF)
o Understand the concept of a function & use function notation.
o Interpret functions that arise in applications in terms in context.
- Building Functions (F-BF)
o Build a function that models a relationship between two quantities.
- Linear, Quadratic & Exponential Models (F-LE)
o Construct/compare linear & exponential models & solve problems.
o Interpret expressions for functions in terms of situation modeled.
- Trigonometric Functions (F-TF)
o Model periodic phenomena w/trigonometric functions.
o Prove & apply trigonometric identities.

o Make geometric constructions.
CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.11-12.5 Develop and strengthen writing as needed by planning, revising, editing, rewriting, or trying a new
approach, focusing on addressing what is most significant for a specific purpose and audience. (Editing for conventions should
demonstrate command of Language standards 13 up to and including grades 1112 here.)
CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.11-12.6 Use technology, including the Internet, to produce, publish, and update individual or shared writing
products in response to ongoing feedback, including new arguments or information.
