Teaching Mechatronics with Project-Based Solutions
Thursday, January 30th at 3 PM - 4 PM Eastern
Helping students to develop high-demand skills such as teamwork, communication, analytical thinking, and problem-solving while working together to solve “real world” problems is at the core of project-based learning. Studica’s line of “Mechatronics Program” sets provide educators with the curriculum and materials they need to provide a technology-focused project-based learning experience. Learn about cost-effective teaching solutions that support your academic goals, while helping to prepare students with essential tech-based skills they will need as they prepare to take their place in the modern workforce.
This hour-long webcast will discuss:
- What is Mechatronics?
- The skills gap & the need for STEM and technology-focused education
- Overview of SIMP & STAMP sets
- Tour of curriculum & structure + academic standards addressed
Introduction to Mechatronics Program Set
The Studica Introduction to Mechatronics Program Set is designed to enable educators of all backgrounds—even non-science or technology backgrounds—to provide a well-rounded and comprehensive introduction to core concepts of mechatronics to their students. Students can learn—hands-on—essential skills that will utilize to be successful in the careers of the future.
The Studica Introduction to Mechatronics Program Set is designed to be a complete, project-based STEM education program for use in middle schools, high schools, and home schools. Purchase of this set includes access to a free download of the highly detailed, 242-page curriculum document “Mechatronics Fundamentals” by Tom White, in PDF form. This PDF document is used in conjunction with the fischertechnik building components to allow students to build realistic, and fully functioning models to help illustrate the concepts being addressed. Ideally, this program can be used to develop in students the skills and work habits required in technical disciplines and to help guide them to approach technology-based problems with an engineering mindset.
Teaching Applications of Mechatronics Program Set
The Studica Teaching Applications of Mechatronics Program Set is designed as a complete, year-long, project-based STEM education program for use in middle schools, high schools, and home schools. Purchase of this set includes access to a free download of the highly detailed, 401-page curriculum document “Mechatronic Applications” by Tom White, in PDF form. This PDF document is used in conjunction with the fischertechnik building components to allow students to build realistic, and fully functioning models to help illustrate the concepts being addressed. Ideally, this program can be used to develop in students the skills and work habits required in technical disciplines and to help guide them to approach technology-based problems with an engineering mindset.
