AZ/TUC/Engineering/Summer Engineering Robotics Camp
From All4Education
Summer Engineering Robotics Camp
The College of Engineering at the University of Arizona (UA) will
present the Burr Brown Texas Instruments Summer Engineering
Robotics Camp to attract qualified 6, 7, and 8 grade students to
consider engineering as a career option. The fundamental idea
behind the Summer Engineering Robotics Camp is to show
prospective engineers exactly how an idea becomes reality. Students
will build robots from Lego Mindstorm kits and compete design team
challenges testing their models for speed, endurance, and other
technological abilities. Also, the students will be exposed to
computer programming. Not only with the Lego program for robots,
students will be trained to use Solidworks and Power Injection
Technology for Computer aided Design (CAD) and rapid prototyping
(RP), respectively to invent their own robots. Classroom lectures will
cover topics ranging from Fundamentals of Mathematics and Physics
to engineering design and project management. Prizes will be
awarded to the best overall designs. Students will also be able to
experience engineering around campus with guest lectures from
student clubs and design teams as well as from industry.
