Adjunct Professor in the Electrical and Systems Engineering Department. Teaching the Introduction to Engineering Design (ESE-205) course for Dr. Jim Feher who is on a sabbatical for this semester. Excited to be in the lab with my 60 students showing them how to use a Raspberry Pi, Python, Linux, and GitHub. Final project is using a PiCar Mars Rover Robot Car to demonstrate successful navigation through an obstacle course and detection of certain conditions (color, ramps, lines, etc.).
