PREREQUISITES:     Two semesters of programming classes (e.g., CS 120 & 122, or CS 120 & CS 330) or equivalent experience.

MEETING TIMES:    TR 12-1:40 pm SEAB 1207                              CREDIT HOURS:  4

DESCRIPTION:

This course will be focused on programming new, sophisticated behaviors into existing robots (rather than building new robots from scratch). We'll form project teams and take on a variety of ambitious, high-profile tasks that will depend on the funding we get, and the individual talents and capabilities of the students.  Alumni of last year's robot class are encouraged to enroll and will be expected to take on greater responsibilities as leaders and experts commensurate with their experience.  Please contact Jeffrey Horn (jhorn@nmu.edu, 227-1607) with questions.
 

NOTE:  Non-CS majors are especially encouraged to enroll, as we would like to utilize the skills and knowledge of those with significant IT, ET, or other digital circuits coursework under their belts!  These projects will require diverse teams.
