Discover
breakthrough technology in ENGINEERING & ROBOTICS.
Immerse yourself in the most forward-looking
discipline of our time. This challenging
and dynamic program will introduce
you to leading scientists, engineers,
and futurists who develop technology
and conceive the advancements that
will carry us into the next millennium.
Gain a foundation for developing advanced
technologies, then apply what you’ve
learned to actual engineering challenges.
Build a self-guided
robot in the ROBOTICS SIMULATION.
Science fiction becomes reality when
you create a real working robot that
accomplishes tasks you set out for
it. Working with a team, you’ll
design, construct, and program an automated
machine that completes functions operating
by your rules and protocols. Along
the way you’ll learn about material
logistics, mechanical stress, design
strategies, and other topics that will
give you a leg up in this fascinating
field.
Think critically and compete in
TEAM ENGINEERING CHALLENGES. One of the
best ways to move from theory to
application is to participate in
competitions like those held at
engineering colleges. In the Engineering & Robotics conference,
you’ll do just that. As part
of an engineering team, you’ll
compete in a series of increasingly
difficult challenges that will
encourage you to think critically
and collaborate to achieve common
goals. The competition will feel
like a fun and challenging game,
but it will also bring the theoretical
principles of engineering and physics
to life.
