Structured Learning for FIRST

[craigboez]

In our time leading up to kickoff, our team would like to create weekly homework assignments designed to help the students understand some of the core concepts they're going to need once January gets here. Work will be both individual and in groups. As a mentor I don't have access to any formal curriculum that the schools might already have, but am interested in what may already be available to them. Topics may include:

Using 3D design tools, basic and advanced drivetrains, pneumatics, electrical systems, manipulators, motors, power transmission, control systems, learning who the suppliers are, benchmarking other teams, etc.

A) Would anyone on CD be willing to share homework sets, example problems, a sample curriculum, etc, that they have given out as formal training in the past?

B) Any feedback from those that have done formal training and homework assignments in the past?
