Group study of a selected topic or topics in Mechanical Engineering. Credit for 198 or 199 courses combined may not exceed 4 units in any single term. See College for other restrictions.

This course teaches the fundamentals of designing and building a combat robot. It will cover topics including computer aided design, prototyping, the mechanics of robotics, the knowledge of tool use and safety, and the engineering design process. Students will work in small teams to design and build their own 1 lb. robot and compete with one another at the end of the semester. The process will take into consideration materials, machining, construction limitations, and cost. All of these topics are geared toward students interested in engineering principles and the application of the scientific process in a fun and engaging way that fosters community and practices problem solving.
