Robotics Curriculum?

I'm currently the COO of our robotics team, and my goal is to prepare a more structured way of teaching the 4 important aspects of Robotics: Mechanical, Electronics, Design, and Programming.

I would greatly appreciate if anyone could show me online resources (or books) I could use to help teach incoming students.

Also if your team already has a curriculum, I would be interested to see how your team teaches incoming students..



This is what I really want to focus on in each department:

Machining: Manual and CNC milling and lathing

Electronics: Electronics Theory, The uses of each electronic component on the FIRST robot.

Design: Solidworks tutorials

Programming: Tutorials and guides for programming robots in both LabVIEW and C++. We are still unsure whether we will stick with LabVIEW or switch to C++.

What do you think?

Thank you, and can't wait until next year!!
