One of the most common challenges for educators who teach this type of courseis covering all desirable hardware and software concepts in a single semester. To help remedythis situation, we recently redesigned the course so each student must complete a single mobilerobot project with multiple “subsystem labs” replacing the previously unrelated lab sequence.We believe this more integrated approach improves the course for both educators and studentswhile facilitating the development of a systems design methodology.
