Electrical Engineering is a Science course in the CTY program. It requires previous enrollment in Algebra I. Its course code is EENG, and it is offered at Carlisle, Los Angeles, and Saratoga Springs, and was also offered at Loudonville.
Course Description
Electrical Engineering offers an introduction into the field of electrical engineering. The course covers much of the electricity and magnetism that is offered in a standard AP Physics course, and it also covers the science of circuits and electronics. In addition to extensive lab work, the course teaches students to use various mathematical and scientific tools to aid them in their studies. Labs and projects done in class include leaning how to use a soldering iron, VCR cars (racing cars made entirely out of a broken VCR set plus a battery), bottle rockets, a lab on series and parallel resistors using Kirchoff's Laws and Ohm's Law, assembly of 555 timer based oscillators, a solar powered car controlled by an integrated circuit, and a light following robot that responds to contact with walls and barriers built around the LM386 operational amplifier.
