Description:

Berg, Turbak (Computer Science) NOT OFFERED IN 2009-10. In this intensive course, students are introduced to engineering principles while designing and assembling robots out of LEGO parts, sensors, motors, and tiny computers. Fundamental robotics skills are learned in the context of studying and modifying a simple robot known as SciBorg. Then, working in small teams, students design and build their own robots for display at a robot exhibition. These projects tie together aspects of a surprisingly wide range of disciplines, including computer science, physics, math, biolo-gy, psychology, engineering, and art. Students may register for either PHYS 115 or CS 115 and credit will be granted accordingly. Not offered every year. Subject to Dean's Office approval.
