Project Description
The proposed welcoming experience offers students the opportunity to represent IUPUI in intercollegiate competitions through their involvement in the design and fabrication of robots and vehicles. These competitions include: Shell Eco-Marathon, SAE Clean Snowmobile Challenge, Agricultural Robotics (AgBOT) Challenge, and VEX Robotics competitions. Participation in these competitions allows students to acquire a better sense of their disciplines, increase professional identity, connect theory with real-life experiences, increase retention, improve problem-solving skills, and bond with peers and the community. This experience is supported by the School of Engineering and Technology, the Herron School of Art & Design, and the School of Science.
