Learning
Today’s students have different methods of learning and working – and different desires – than students of prior decades. They look for collaborative, active learning opportunities, and they flourish when academic and extracurricular activities blend.
Encouraging collaboration and innovation, and serving as a resource center for the engineering student community, the integrated learning and research facility will be a magnet for learning. It will transform and provide a unique environment to challenge enrolled students and enable us to recruit tomorrow’s engineers, as well as talented new faculty.
This preeminent, learning-friendly facility will make the Russ College one of the premier student-centered engineering colleges in the United States.
Learning opportunities that will be enhanced by the facility:
- Mechanical Engineering
- Senior capstone course and competition to create a personal campus transporter powered by an alternative energy source
- Electrical Engineering and Computer Science
- RoboCup Competition, soccer playing robots use artificial intelligence to play the game
- Autonomous Lawn Mower Competition
- Avionics
- Design/Launch/Build Student CanSat Competition, in which students design a payload for launch via rocket to an altitude of 2,000 feet
