As students of The Clinton School of Engineering will be exposed to a 4 year course sequence that begins with the exploration of engineering and Robotics.  You will explore the foundations of engineering and product design; study mechanisms of machines; learn technical drawing; perform the engineering application series that includes:

• Building Cell Phone Apps

• Airplane Launcher

• Balloon Racer

• Bathroom Redesign

• Movable Bridge

• Conveyor System - Automated

• Geothermal Heating/Cooling System

• Guitar Tuning Device

• Intelligent Green House

• Pneumatics Trainer

• Robotics Game/Event

• Smart House

• Solar Water Heater

• Sun Tracking Solar Panel Array

• Vending Machine

• Wind Turbine
