NORTH KINGSTOWN HIGH SCHOOL
ACADEMY OF ENGINEERING AND ROBOTICS
COURSES
INTRODUCTION TO ENGINEERING DESIGN (IED)
Students dig deep into the engineering design process, applying math, science, and engineering standards to hands-on projects. They work both individually and in teams to design solutions to a variety of problems using 3-D modeling software, and use an engineering notebook to document their work.
CIVIL ENGINEERING AND ARCHITECTURE (CEA)
Students learn important aspects of building and site design and development. They apply math, science, and standard engineering practices to design both residential and commercial projects and document their work using 3-D architectural design software.
PRINCIPLES OF ENGINEERING (POE)
Students explore a broad range of engineering topics including mechanisms, strength of structure and materials, and automation, and then they apply what they know to take on challenges like designing a self-powered car.
DIGITAL ELECTRONICS (DE)
Students study topics such as combinational and sequential logic and are exposed to circuit design tools used in industry, including logic gates, integrated circuits, and programmable logic devices. This course provides a foundation for students who are interested in electrical engineering, electronics, or circuit design.

ROBOTICS 1
In this project based course students will design and program a device to do certain tasks in order to meet the specific goal, such as sorting objects by color or developing a device to launch ping pong balls at a target. Students will learn how to program a robot to make decisions based on sensor generated information as well as how to control the robot using a remote control.
ROBOTICS 2
Students enrolled in this course will apply the skills learned in Robotics 1 to a large scale competition. Inspired by the FIRST Tech Challenge competition, students will work in teams to design, build, and program a robot that will be able to complete the current year’s competition. Students are eligible for Honors credit by actively participating in after school meetings, necessary for involvement in the state and regional competitions
