A half-semester project is therefore used to apply thelab-related concepts while focusing on integrated mechanical-electronic-software design.Students design an autonomous vehicle that operates within a predefined arena to accomplish thegiven task within a specified budget and timeline. Lab groups are merged or reassigned intolarger project teams of 3-4 students. At Purdue, the use of multiple lab sections allows projectteams to be formed with one lab group from each lab section, increasing contact time with thelab instructor. At Lawrence Tech, this is not feasible due to the smaller class size.Prior iterations of this course

When asked about their reason forjoining the Formula team students responded with: [Angelina]: And at that point, I was kind of tired of engineering, so I was like, I need something else to keep me motivated to do this…I think everybody should do [a design competition team]. It just teaches you a lot. And it’s a lot of fun.
