In the challenge, teams of four students designed anautonomous vehicle that would be capable of negotiating a course twelve feet square withobstacles placed randomly in the space. To win the challenge, a vehicle needed to negotiate thecourse and run over an 8-inch by 10-inch target of black paper within five minutes. The teamscould design either a wheeled vehicle or a tracked/treaded vehicle. Since laboratory time wasrestricted to two hours, the RCX bricks were pre-programmed with four robotic

Despite growing interest, there remains a gap in undergraduate educationconcerning electric and autonomous vehicle technologies, particularly for students who wish toengage with real (rather than simulated) vehicles. Most academic programs lack the specializedcourses and hands-on experiences critical for preparing the next generation of engineers andinnovators in this rapidly advancing field. Bridging this educational divide is essential to ensurea workforce ready to support intelligent vehicles and transportation networks. Meeting this need,we developed and ran

Thesubject builds on calculus and physics concepts involving vectors, systems of equations,equilibrium and integration, in order to solve new problems involving structures.
