It is considered essential that all Robotics Engineering majorscomplete all four core courses before beginning a Capstone Design project in their 4th year.While this may appear to lack flexibility, it is currently considered essential to the underlyingphilosophy of the Robotics Engineering program as each course builds directly on the precedingcourse – reinforcing and extending robotics concepts in the true sense of a spiral curriculum.

IntroductionThroughout the United States most engineering programs engage undergraduate students insenior design or capstone projects. These projects are intended to provide engineering students aculminating experience to design, build, and test a system them will exercise the skills learnedover their four year education.

Each instructorbrought his/her own expertise and preferences into the classroom. On the electrical engineeringside, the instructor has remained the same, but the project endured a curriculum change thatmerged two courses into the current course and lab.Student feedback from fall 2011 indicated that the requirement of interlocking packages stifledcreativity, particularly for the technology students, as the exterior form was set early in theproject and could not be altered.
