Robotics

Quick Facts

• Go-to course for any student planning to attend engineering school.

• Use CAD, 3D printers, laser cutter, CNC machines and other tools to design, manufacture, and fabricate parts for your robots. Program them using C++ and Python. Get a head start on electronics for Physics.

• Three year sequence. Third year is dual-enrollment with NJIT.

• First year: Use engineering modeling software to create a virtual prototype of a robot. 3D print the parts, assemble them, build an electronic system, and use C++ to program your robot to independently navigate through a maze.

• Second year: Hack bluetooth modules, IR, ultrasonics, game controllers, and more to enhance your robot’s capabilities. Learn C++ and Python to build, simulate, and repurpose many of the systems that we use every day.

• Third year: Employ advanced prototyping techniques as you design and develop competitive robots. Dual enrollment with NJIT (three credits) for qualifying students.

• No prior experience assumed or required.
