Project Based Courses

Engineering 130 provides an introductory study of the fundamentals of mobile robotics and the associated engineering concepts. It prepares students for more advanced studies in robotics and related technologies. Students gain experience with fundamental concepts in robot design, computer aided design and drafting, sensors and actuators, programming, and electronics. The vast majority of the course experience consists of implementation of and experimentation with these skills through hands-on labs.  (Click course title for more information).
The first of a two-course series intended to simulate a real-world design experience via an interdisciplinary project in a team-based environment. It introduces the student to the design and prototype development phase of an in-depth engineering design process requiring integration of multiple systems. Students from a variety of disciplines conceive, design and begin to prototype a system involving electrical, software, and mechanical engineering components. Emphasis is placed on written and oral communication skills as students set project goals, manage interfaces between component subsystems, work in design teams, track progress against tasks, write detailed documentation, and deliver design review presentations. Students are expected to apply knowledge from prerequisite and recommended preparation courses in the design and implementation of their project (Click course title for more information).
Engineering 299 is the second of a two-course series intended to simulate a real-world design experience via and interdisciplinary project in a team-based environment. It introduces the student to the fabrication and testing phase of an in-depth engineering design process requiring integration of multiple systems. Students from a variety of disciplines carry out the design project initiated in Engineering 298. Emphasis is places on written and oral communication skills as student implement, test, and analyze the product designed in Engineering 298
