TY  - CPAPER
AB  -          Autonomous Vehicles: A Hands-On Interdisciplinary Freshman CourseThe  authors  have  recently  developed  a  new  first-­‐semester  freshman  elective,  Autonomous  Vehicles,  as  a  hands-­‐on  interdisciplinary  introduction  to  mechanical,  chemical,  electrical,  and  computer  engineering,  computer  science,  design,  controls,  and  energy.  Course  goals  include  exposing  students  to  many  facets  of  engineering  and  computer  science  to  aid  in  major  choice,  developing  practical  technical  skills  relevant  to  subsequent  projects,  generating  enthusiasm  for  future  studies,  and  developing  teamwork,  design,  presentation,  and  technical  writing  skills.  Through  a  series  of  labs,  the  students  design,  build,  test,  and  optimize  autonomous  robots  to  compete  in  a  “Capture  the  Flag”  style  game.  These  labs  cover  C  programming,  drawing  and  3D  printing  a  robot  chassis,  assembling  a  customized  microcontroller  circuit  board,  building  sensor  circuits,  machining  and  characterizing  hydrogen  proton  exchange  membranes  (PEM)  fuel  cells,  and  generating  and  detecting  Gold  codes.  This  paper  will  describe  the  course  structure  and  content  and  summarize  assessment  results  from  the  Fall  2010  pilot  course.
