, capstone designprojects usually either require a massive learning curve to build on previous systems or arerelegated to relatively simple designs, many of which are repeated year after year. This paperdescribes the educational experience gained through design and construction of an R2D2 replicafrom the Star Wars™ movies. The initial project incorporates basic radio control as well assimple autonomous navigation and limited user interface with the capability for futureexpansion. The modular design is intended to allow future capstone groups to add innovativenew features as well as novel applications of well established technologies. In addition to beinga motivational project for senior-level engineering students, it is also a marketing tool for

However, the course is designed so that most of the skillstaught will be valuable to the students regardless of which career or college major they choose.Examples include teamwork, written, oral and graphical communication, computer, and problemsolving skills.Another reason to offer IE in a high school is to reach a broader audience than can be found incollege engineering classes, which are predominantly white and male.
