  3. TTI1O – MaST Engineering Course Objectives: • To give students a taste of real engineering • To explore engineering careers • To make students aware of the academic level of engineering programs • To develop soft skills useable in other aspects of school and life

  4. Course Overview • Mechanical Engineering and Design • Structures and Gears • Design methodology – Ryerson University • Electrical Engineering/Programming • Scratch video game programming • NQC (similar to C++) for robots • Project Management • Teamwork and team psychology • Time and Resource Management • Negotiations/People skills

  5. Class Format: • Learn • Apply • Compete

  6. Competitions involve: • Teamwork • Time Management • Resource Planning

  7. Students are marked on: • Concept Application • Reflection Exercises

  8. Teams are varied to develop: • People skills • Appreciation of different abilities

  9. MaST Engineering is fun!

  10. Computer Science

  11. MaST Advantage • MaST students may take Grade 11 Computer Science in Grade 10 • Very skilled computer students may take Grade 12 Computer Science in Grade 10!

  12. Grade 11 CompSci • Video Game Programming • Computer Science Careers • Python

  13. Grade 12 CompSci • Python • Arduino • Open Source Programmable Controller • Used by: • inventors • artists • Taught at: • UofT, Ryerson • George Brown • Ontario College of Art and Design

  14. All work is put in an online blog • Students perform labs • Kits are available to take home • Photograph or film the labs for their blog as proof of completion • Research Arduino projects they would like to do • Student driven – follow their interests • robotics • communications/RFID

  15. Standard in All Courses • All material is FREE: • Python • Arduino software (kits can be borrowed) • All lessons are online: • students go at their own pace • students have a reference for university • Access to Computer Lab every lunch

  16. Class Goal: To prepare students for CompSci in university Note: Only graduates are added to Mr Kee’s friendlist so we can keep in touch!

  17. MaST Careers Grade 10

  18. In my humble opinion… • Careers is the most important class any student will take in high school • It gives students purpose • Greater focus • A reason to go to school • A life goal • A vision of their future • Opens their eyes to the way the world works
