Re: Structured Learning for FIRST
I've actually just put together a set of classes that we're going through now for the Electrical subteam.

I'm covering:
* Basic electrical circuit concepts
* Sensors
* Wires and connectors
* FRC Control System
* Pneumatics
* Digital electronics
* Other concepts (PWM, ADC)
* Building circuits with a set of labs using Arduino

Is it effective? Not sure yet - it's a new set of classes. Maybe the students can chime in here.

But, we're covering basic fundamental theory, FRC specific elements, and getting hands on - both with FRC parts, tools, and circuit building.

There is a homework sheet (1-2 pages, simple questions) to go with each class.

If you want more details, feel free to send me a PM.
