Students gain an introduction to college-level electrical and computer engineering through extensive project-based learning in a university lab setting.
The Temple University Robotics Institute offers an introduction to college-level electrical and computer engineering through hands-on projects. Students will learn to build and program autonomous mobile robots to perform various tasks such as obstacle avoidance, lane following, playing music, and dancing. The program emphasizes project-based learning experiences within a university electrical and computer engineering laboratory environment. Key topics include sensors, motors, microcontrollers, and electrical components. Participants will also be shown how to control a mobile robot remotely and will receive resources to further their robotics and electronics knowledge beyond the course. The program aims to challenge students to learn about autonomous programmable robots and different areas of electrical and computer engineering.
A typical day involves morning and afternoon class sessions, trips, studio time, or project work, with a lunch break and an optional study hour with Pre-College Mentors.
This program is ideal for high school students interested in exploring electrical and computer engineering and gaining hands-on experience in building and programming autonomous robots.
