1. Introduction The Electrical and Computer Engineering Department (ECE) at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona (Cal Poly Pomona) offers Bachelor of Science degrees in both Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering. Our Computer Engineering curriculum is composed of hardware and software courses, which emphasize the use of both technologies to produce optimized system designs.

In response to the NASA Research Announcement (2002), California State Polytechnic University, Pomona (Cal Poly Pomona) submitted a proposal for the “Partnership Awards for the Integration of Research into Undergraduate Education” (PAIR) program. The purpose of our proposal was to integrate the Jet Propulsion Laboratories (JPL) deep space exploration rover technology research into the undergraduate curriculum of the engineering, technology and computer science departments at Cal Poly Pomona. Cal Poly Pomona’s proposal, “Deep Space Exploration using Smart Robotic Rovers”, was selected for funding and began in September 2002.
