Building Your Own: Object Avoiding Robot
Rescheduled for 
Thursday, October 22^nd at  3:30 PM

 

We apologize for any inconvenience, but the Build Your Own Object Avoiding Robot workshop has been rescheduled for Thursday, October 22^nd at 3:30 PM. 

During this workshop, you will learn to incorporate an Arduino with a range finder senor, wheels, and chassis into a great little object avoiding robot.  This class will include building the robot and programming it. Taught by Issac Johnson, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Student Group.

Please note that an optional $55 kit is available from the Electronic Shop for purchase before the workshop, if you want to be able to build along! The kits can be purchased when registering for the workshop. The cost will be applied to your U-Bill and will be available to pick up in the Engineering Library.  They must be ordered by October 15^th.

You may register here. 

One part of this project is the need to solder a few wires together. There will be a workshop on soldering basics the week before. If you prefer, Jeremy Roszell from the Electronics Shop will (for free) solder the wires together for you.

Two items which will be needed but are NOT in the kit, may be checked out from the Tool Library or they  are available to purchase from Electronic Shop:

• Soldering Iron
• Hot glue Gun

Engineering Library Creative Space

 

 

From medical devices to concrete in walkways,standards are part of our everyday life. This workshop will give you an introduction to standards and specifications. You will learn about standards that are government-mandated as well as voluntary standards. Knowing where to look to find the standards you need will be helpful all through your engineering career!

The library provides access to over 100,000 standards including ASTM, ISO, ADA, NFPA (Fluid), and the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations.

This workshop will be taught by Kari Koazk, Head, Lichtenberger Engineering Library.

The workshop is FREE, but space is limited! Register now!
