Description: This hands-on course immerse students in an engineering design and problem solving team process that exposes them to the challenges and rewards of practicing engineers. The course targets two groups. First, freshman and sophomores who are considering an engineering major but who want information on the principles of engineering design and the profession. Second, non-engineering majors who want to experience and understand the design process that creates the technology that permeates today's economy, society, and political decisions. Teams of three students design, construct and program a small autonomous robot to engage in a competition at the end of the semester. The course is completely self-contained and assumes no prerequisites.
