Well, our school have a class call Engineering Technology because of the metal shop we have, and it was taught by our advisor, Mr. Dunbar. The first and second year, GRT was a club with Mr. Dunbar as an advisor, and the third year, they combined the class and GRT, so everyone in GRT will enroll in Engineering Technology, with some exception students who are college students or veteran students. Because the team have more than 50 person, there are two class period, but it doesn't really matter because most of the building is after school anyway.

During class, the students will be taught about the shop, stress/structuring, AutoCAD... etc. And there will be a small engineering challenge as well to teach the students about team work before the robotics competition. Even though it's a class, the student still run the class and grades the project with the help of Mr. Dunbar.

Basically, the class exist because Mr. Dunbar is there for us. So you really need to find some dedicated teachers in order to add the team to the school.

E-mail me if you want more detail.
