Robotic Football: Developing Engineering Leaders through Competition

Design is a fundamental component in various engineering curricula. Programs across the nation teach this component via design projects in different courses, culminating in a capstone design course in the final year. While these projects may achieve the goal of teaching the use of mathematics and sciences to meet design objectives and constraints, they are limited in terms of the team size, scope of the project, and diversity of team members. © 1988-2012 IEEE.
