Re: Ideas for Engineering Course
Is the program in PLTW (Project Lead the Way)?

I'm taking an engineering class (Intro to Engineering) and I find it a nice relaxing period to do whatever.
The class is kinda helpful because they at least teach you a few different design methods, but nothing you can't learn in FIRST. And less than one year experience in FIRST, and I knew stuff the teacher doesn't even know about.

If anything, take the class. Sure, it's an easy A, but that's about an hour a day devoted to messin around on Inventor, and a bonus hour during the build season to design the robot. And you never know, you might learn something new.
