Learn the potentials
and challenges inherent in the next
century's most dynamic technologies.
You will meet with leading scientists,
engineers and futurists to explore
advancement into the next millennia.
You will be exposed to theory behind
and application of a wide array of
engineering disciplines upon which
our technologies are based. Most importantly,
you'll work with a team to apply your
skills and knowledge to true engineering
challenges.
Scientists
and engineers are trained to gather
data, interpret their findings and
come to a critical assessment of the
most perplexing problems. You will
explore engineering advancements while
remaining grounded in the principles
of ethical leadership.
ROBOTICS SIMULATION In
our Robotics Simulation, you will
work on the design and construction
of a self-guided robot. Your
challenges will not only include
the creation of a machine to conduct
specific tasks and challenges, but
to create the rules and protocols
for it to accomplish tasks on its
own, without human interference or
assistance. You will work with your
team on everything from material
logistics to mechanical stress and
design with the hopes of producing
a robot that can navigate the challenges
that it will face.
TEAM
ENGINEERING CHALLENGES Just as
colleges of engineering hold competitions
to help their students move beyond
theory and into application, at
Engineering, Science & Robotics you'll
compete against other teams on
a series of increasingly difficult
challenges that will test your
ability to think critically and
to work in a team environment to
achieve common goals. These challenges
are not just games - they bring the
theoretical principles of physics and
engineering to life in real problems.
