Re: First Class?

Our FIRST program is attached with four classes.
1. Engineering Physics.
2. Physics of Technology.
3. Engineering Systems 1.
4. Engineering Systems 2.

All the classes have a 6 week project at the start of January. Its pretty much open to whatever you want to do, but most of the people choose to do FRC. At the same time, the main leadership body lies within Engineering Systems 2; theses students are graded on how they manage and organize the whole team.
Other than that we also have a community club that brings in the home schoolers and students from other high school to participate in our team.

The fun thing about this process is that if you are taking a class, your grade depends on the completion of your responsibility; so no one has to go around and boss people. Not to mention that we have designated "System Engineers Students" who analyze the whole system every year for risk management.
