All students on GRT are enrolled in a one year elective course called "Engineering Technology". For the first semester we learn machining, structures and materials, autocad, power transmission, and we also do a couple of design challenges and also organize a design challenge for 5th graders in our school district (we also go to the elementary schools to mentor the 5th graders). Second semester we devote to building the robot, then preparing for competition. At the very end of th year, we close with some extra units that vary year to year (last year it was digital electronics). The class counts for 10 credits over the course of the year.
