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.
Technical reports are interesting to write because they combine factual information with presentation and design challenges. This short course will include important document design concepts, tips about organizing and presenting technical material, and useful writing practice. Students will complete a short report by the end of the class.
