Design, programming, and testing of mobile robots. Design problems are formulated in terms of robot performance. Students solve electromechanical problems, developing skills in brainstorming, concept selection, spatial reasoning, teamwork and communication. Robots are controlled with micro-controllers using C programming and interfaced to sensors and motors.

Prerequisites: Engr 3; and ME 6 or ECE 2A. Not open for credit to students who have completed ME 170C or ECE 181C.

ME6 . Marks T G 8 Months Ago

I am not leaving this review for ME6 only as unfortunately he is very involved in the ME department and teaches a lot of other classes. Mean, misogynistic, and condescending. Lectures suck and he moves too quickly, and is not nice when you ask him questions (he lectures you on why you should know the answer already??)

He is outright rude to students when they ask for help. Refuses to provide any sort of assistance in lab or on homework when students are struggling. Expect sarcastic comments and little to no help. His lectures are fine, but his class, and especially lab, is horribly run and extremely disorganized.

I loved this class. There is so much actual engineering. Best class so far!

Good lecture slides and fair tests. Would give a 5 but grading scale for homework was harsh.
