- Design Projects
Design projects are conducted through a variety of programs
that include the School of
Engineering's Senior Design Project program, through the Eng 190 Robotics
Workshop course, via internship programs, as part of course
activities, and through externally sponsored projects. The laboratory
specializes in interdisciplinary projects in which students completely design,
develop, fabricate, test, and operate a complete robotic system.
