Robotics

This course uses basic engineering and technological concepts to introduce students to engineering design, materials and a manufacturing, mechanisms, controls, and microcontrollers. While investing these topics, students will work in multi- and cross-disciplinary teams and will use inquiry and creativity to design, build, and trouble shoot a robotic/mechatronic device.

Facility

Facilities for this program include the electronics lab, equipped with electronic components and tools, Basic Stamp programming software and hardware, and electronic test and experimentation equipment. Other facilities within the building include the ability to develop mechanical designs and parts and mechanical capabilities such as materials testing, drawing programs, and a laser engraver and cutter for precision cutting. In addition, a production laboratory is equipped with tools for any mechanical work that would arise.

Faculty

Dr. Adam Stienecker - has a background in electrical engineering and teaches electronics and robotics classes at Ohio Northern University. His interests are far ranging but include robotics and mechatronic systems. Adam enjoys teaching anyone interested in learning and will go to great lengths to insure that education is enjoyable for the student.
