other functions of the body are studied. Computer use and technology will be integral to this class.
NOTE: In any physiology class offered at Brush, dissection is a major lab component. If you are not
able to perform a dissection, then you should not take a physiology class.

Course Number: 4335 One Semester .50 credit
Prerequisite: none
The focus of this course is the engineering design process and its application. Through hands-on projects,
students apply engineering standards and document their work. Students will use 3D modeling software to
help them design solutions to solve problems, document their work using an engineer’s notebook, and
communicate solutions to peers and members of the professional community. Students will work on
projects and solve problems dealing with topics such as: positive messaging, truss structures, architecture,
programming, computer-aided design and manufacturing, biospherics, and more. Students choosing this
course should have a strong interest in science and mathematics. Computer use and technology will be
integral to this class.

Prerequisite: Successful completion of Algebra 1
Throughout this semester-long course, students will create a robot and utilize tools for self-growth in
technical skill development and engineering design thinking. The semester culminates in an event where
students present what they've learned and use their robot to compete in a class mini-game aligned with the
FIRST® Tech Challenge. Students will learn about project management, safety, and the engineering
design process. Students will also learn about robot systems (chassis, electrical, and manipulator design)
and computational thinking (decomposition, data types, and algorithms). Students should have a strong
interest in science and mathematics. Computer use and technology will be integral to this class.
