GTT Automation and Robotics

Students will learn the history and development of automation and robotics. The structures of robots, energy transfer, machine automation, and computer control systems will be studied through hands-on projects. Students will explore careers in engineering and will develop skills in solving engineering problems.

GTT Flight and Space

Students will learn Newton's Laws of Motion, forces, rockets, propulsion, and the forces of flight. Through projects and hands-on activities, students will learn to solve problems using engineering concepts and will have the opportunity to explore careers in aerospace engineering.

GTT The Science of Technology

Students will learn how science has influenced technology throughout history. The mechanics of motion, the conversion of energy, and the use of science to improve communications will be expolored. Hands-on projects will be used to reinforce theory and research.

GTT Design and Modeling

Students will use computer aided drafting software that supports solid modeling to learn the design process. Students will learn how this technique has influenced their lives. Students will learn sketching techniques and will use descriptive geometry to develop an understanding of measurement, design, and computer modeling. Students will solve problems through use of design briefs and will create models and document the steps to a solution.

GTT The Magic of Electrons

Students learn the science of electricity, the movement of electrons, circuit design, and sensing devices through hands-on projects. Students learn about basic circuit design and will research the impact electricity has had on our lives.
