It is believed that problem-based learning, as exemplifiedby a capstone senior design project such as this one, provides students with important knowledgeabout green design. In addition, such projects provide students with the essential projectmanagement and engineering skills required to bring complex projects from idea to completion.The prototype was successfully able to navigate autonomously to a programmed destination andcharge its battery using solar energy. Its performance was dependent mainly on the accuracy ofthe GPS module.

It is rare that a student runs a program without needing to troubleshoot a problem. For example, a heavy initial cut during a facing operation would indicate an incorrectly set tool length or work offset. Many of these problems can be identified and troubleshooted during the execution of the program. Others that are not immediately apparent manifest themselves in dimensional and surface finish variations in the final part.
