The following class is targeted at adults generally, those seeking to progress within a science or engineering career path, and those seeking to return to a science or engineering career path having been away from it for some time.

301 - Robot Based Mechatronic Engineering

This class is targeted at adults who either are considering a career in an enginnering or a science discipline, or who currently are or have previously worked in an enginnering or a science discipline and now to to expand or refresh their skills and knowledge of that discipline.

It is an evening class that meets once a week, on Wednesday evenings, for eight weeks.

Using a robot, built by the student from a kit, students tackle mechanical, electrical, and software engineering tasks while using some basic science based techniques to understand the problem that they are trying to solve and to troubleshoot solutions that do not adequately solve the problem.

While students use a robot, this is not a robotics class. Rather, it is a science/engineering class that uses a robot to create problems that have a real educational value.
