Being from a Texas High School and in the top 10% of my class I feel that I have an understanding for the students striving in this position. Being in ranked 2nd in your class is good but being ranked 2nd because I chose to opt out for Robotics over AP Psych hurts a little bit.

While I would greatly appreciate an AP robotics class I think the College Board would be better off with an AP Engineering class that encompasses many aspects of engineering. If I were making the AP class I would build it to be similar to AP 2D/3D Art. Students would submit an original work in CAD/Pictures/ETC and have to explain the engineering concepts behind the design, in addition their would be a written exam where students are tested on the basics of engineering.

This way students would be able to showcase a part of the robot that they may have designed and get to learn more about Engineering through the math/physics realms.
