Prereq: —
Level: U 6 units Standard A - F Grading
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. Enrollment may be limited.

"6.270 Autonomous Robot Design Competition"
6.270 Organizers
Schedule: TBD
Selection by departmental lottery. Do not pre-register on WebSIS.
Listeners allowed, space permitting
Prereq: —
Level: U 6 units Graded P/D/F
Fee: 150.00 for for each team
Participants work together in groups of three to design, build, and program robots (made of LEGO and various sensors) in preparation for the final contest held at the end of IAP. This class is taught entirely by students and participation is open only to MIT undergraduate and graduate students; freshmen are strongly encouraged to participate. No experience is necessary as long as you are willing to learn how to play with LEGO and pick up some basic programming and soldering skills in class. A lottery will be held to select participants in mid October because this class is usually over-subscribed. This course is very time (and fun) intensive, starting from the very beginning of IAP and running at ludicrous-speed towards the course-consummating competition (held in 26-100 at the end of IAP). Therefore, it is highly recommended that participants do not have other major time commitments during IAP, as it tends to distract from enjoyment of this class. For more information please refer to our web page. (Class also gives 6 EDP units)

Prereq: C programming,some AI, control systems/feedback helpful.
Level: U 6 units Graded P/D/F
Fee: 150.00 for covering the cost of materials
MASLab/6.186 is a student-run activity in which students build autonomous robots that navigate an unknown playing field, locating and retrieving items of interest. 6.186, while similar to structure to 6.270, has a more challenging contest and uses more sophisticated components. A friendly contest will take place in late January.

Schedule: TBD
Selection by departmental lottery. Do not pre-register on WebSIS.
Enter lottery by: 31-Dec-2001
No listeners
Prereq: Experience with RTS games and AI games useful but not req.
Level: U 6 units Graded P/D/F
6.370 is the MIT ACM/IEEE Chapter's annual programming contest. For three weeks in January, teams of one to three students will write AIs to control an army of virtual robots in an internally-developed realtime strategy game. Control of movement, communications, and sensors in our game universe will allow competitors to create their own systems of navigation, cooperation, and combat. Teams will compete in head-to-head matches culminating in a live final round with prizes provided by our corporate sponsors. Registration is open to all MIT students during the month of December. Also gives up to 6 Engineering Design Points

Make a Motor
Prof. Steven B. Leeb
Schedule: TBD
Selection by departmental lottery. Do not pre-register on WebSIS.
Enter lottery by: 01-Dec-2001
Limited to 14 participants.
No listeners
Prereq: Permission of instructor, enrollment in Adv. Mech. Proj.
Level: U 3 units Graded P/D/F
Ever wonder what makes an electric motor turn? Rotating electric
machines are fascinating, compact devices that can teach you how
people combine electrical and mechanical components to do work. In this three day seminar you will design and construct your own DC motor. You'll learn how to use machine tools like the lathe, bandsaw, and milling machine. Enrollment strictly limited to students taking the Advanced Mechatronics Project Laboratory in the spring.

Level: U 6 units Graded P/D/F
This is a fun, hands-on introduction to digital electronics for students with no prior experience. For those considering electrical engineering as a major, this class will give a taste of the electronics designs you will be studying in the future. For those interested in the sciences, this class will provide you with a background in electronics so that you can understand the tools you will use. Learn to design your own circuits for those times when off-the-shelf solutions are not available. We'll begin by assembling a utility board, and in subsequent classes introducing digital logic gates, flip-flops, and counters. Fun final projects include a digital thermometer and a tape recorder. There will be several design projects in which you can try out your own ideas. If you have done digital electronics before - do not take this seminar!! Expect to spend about 20 hours per week over IAP.
Lecture: Each Tues & Thurs, Jan 8 through Jan 31, 2-4pm, 4-402
Labs (two sessions): Each Mon, Wed, Fri Jan 7 through Feb 1, 2-4pm and 7:30-9:30pm
