Midterms: 30% 09/20, 10/25
Final: 30% 12/11 18:00
Homework: 25%
Project: 15%
Students may work together in study groups but all assignments must be completed individually. Homework will be due in class on the designated date. No late homeworks will be accepted unless prior notification and arrangements are made.
The course will have an end of the semester mechatronic project that intended to help prepare students for senior design. The project will combine mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering. Students will design a small robot and program it using a microcontroller.
