This course is designed to introduce students to land, water, air, and space transportation through experimentation and model making. Emphasis is placed on research, defining problems, designing, constructing, and testing prototypes. Activities are structured to integrate the physical sciences and mathematics as well as computer applications and programming. This course and TSA technical and leadership activities develop skills essential for students interested in technical or engineering careers in transportation related fields. Prerequisite: Fundamentals of Technology.

Students will learn how transportation systems work in the real world.
  1. Chemical reaction is changed to mechanical energy to propel a boat, car, or a plane.
  2. Students will in great detail how a electric vehicle works.
  3. The History of Transportation.
  4. Student will learn how to make a model boat and the concept of why and how it floats.
Some of the projects done in this class are unique and help build very intellectual students.

The following projects will be included in this course.
