• Focus on the Possibilities: Computer Engineering

July 25-30. 2010

Computer engineers "put computers in stuff" - they design the hardware and software brains in a huge variety of products (like iPhones, medical devices, cars, and airplanes).  This intense, week-long summer camp will challenge you to learn more about the computer engineering (CE) field. You will get hands-on exposure by working closely with faculty in our labs on exciting projects.

Topics included in the CE Focus on the Possibilities:

• Introduction to the history and scope of computer engineering
• Basis of digital signals used in computer systems
• Learn how computers do math and make decisions
• Build and customize a small mobile robot using programmable computer hardware
• Modify the robot to be controlled by flexible software
• Learn how computers embedded in products sense information from the physical world, process it, and use it to control the product.
