Introduction to electronics test equipment such as oscilloscopes, meters (voltage, resistance inductance, capacitance, etc.), and signal generators. Hands-on format emphasizes individual instruction and development of skills, such as soldering, assembly, and troubleshooting. Students build and keep an electronics kit, such as a radio, to serve as the vehicle for learning about electronics test and measurement equipment. Intended for students with no previous background in electronics. Web: http://web.mit.edu/edgerton/iap.html

Level: U 3 units Graded P/D/F   

Seminars combining lectures and lab run by students and academic staff at the Edgerton Center. Students explore specialized electronics, robotics, or mechanical design and fabrication topics from beginner level to more advanced. Some offerings may be taught in an intensive fashion (meeting for up to several times a week for four weeks). Up to three sequential seminars may be offered per semester, covering a different topic each time. Students can take one or all of the seminars.
The AIAA Design/Build/Fly is an international competition in which the contestants build an electric-powered, radio-controlled airplane to fly a specified mission. This year's plane will have a 10-foot wingspan, and carry steel weights and tennis balls as payload.
