Discover breakthrough technology in ENGINEERING & ROBOTICS.
Immerse yourself in the most forward-looking discipline of our time. This challenging and dynamic program will introduce you to leading scientists, engineers, and futurists who develop technology and conceive the advancements that will carry us into the next millennium. Gain a foundation for developing advanced technologies, then apply what you’ve learned to actual engineering challenges.

Build a self-guided robot in the ROBOTICS SIMULATION.
Science fiction becomes reality when you create a real working robot that accomplishes tasks you set out for it. Working with a team, you’ll design, construct, and program an automated machine that completes functions operating by your rules and protocols. Along the way you’ll learn about material logistics, mechanical stress, design strategies, and other topics that will give you a leg up in this fascinating field.

Think critically and compete in TEAM ENGINEERING CHALLENGES.
One of the best ways to move from theory to application is to participate in competitions like those held at engineering colleges. In the Engineering & Robotics conference, you’ll do just that.

As part of an engineering team, you’ll compete in a series of increasingly difficult challenges that will encourage you to think critically and collaborate to achieve common goals. The competition will feel like a fun and challenging game, but it will also bring the theoretical principles of engineering and physics to life.
