Engineering Design Project: Robotics Buggy
Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering • Trinity College Dublin
In 2016-2021, I taught EEU22E10, a team-based engineering project module in which second-year students design, build, program, and evaluate an autonomous robotic vehicle.
The curriculum integrates electronic engineering and computer science, giving students practical experience in developing a complete cyber-physical system involving sensors, actuators, embedded software, circuit construction, wireless communication, and systematic testing.
Assessment is based on phased group project demonstrations (Bronze, Silver, and Gold milestones), technical reports, code evaluation, an interview, and an individual examination evaluating each student's understanding of the underlying engineering principles.
