EPADS I

Engineering Practice and Design Studio (EPADS) I is normally taken in the first semester of your freshmen year where you will be introduced to engineering design, team development, problem-solving, and a team design project.  The project requires you to create, design, and build simple electro-mechanical devices that perform specific functions subject to defined constraints.

You will develop engineering skills, including how to create solid models (using SolidWorks software), how to program a microprocessor-driven application (using RoboLab), and how to design and build simple sensors to control an application and enable it to interact with its environment.
