Students in this experience are equipped with both theoretical and practical skills in robotics, programming, and electronic systems. They are capable of supporting companies with hands-on technical projects requiring innovation, problem-solving, and system integration.

What they can offer to companies:

• Robotics & Automation: Design, test, and optimize robotic systems or automation prototypes.
• Embedded Systems & PCB Design: Develop and program microcontrollers, design circuit boards, and build functional electronic components.
• Programming & AI Applications: Apply coding skills in C/C++, Python, and use AI libraries such as OpenCV or scikit-learn for basic computer vision and machine learning tasks.
• Ethical Hacking & Linux: Conduct basic cybersecurity testing and work within Linux environments for system setup or troubleshooting.
• Hardware Research & Procurement: Independently identify technical requirements, source components, and plan project builds based on company needs.

Expected Outcomes for Students:

Through this experience, students will apply their classroom knowledge to real-world robotics and electronics challenges. They will:

• Gain hands-on experience in designing, programming, and testing embedded systems or robotic prototypes.
• Strengthen technical skills in microcontroller programming, PCB design, and AI tool application.
• Develop teamwork, project management, and problem-solving abilities in a professional context.
• Build confidence in translating technical concepts into practical, deployable solutions.
• Produce portfolio-ready work that demonstrates their ability to manage end-to-end technical projects.

Deliverables for the Employer:

By the end of the project, employers can expect:

• A functional prototype, simulation, or system design (e.g., a robotic device, control system, or electronic component).
• Technical documentation outlining system architecture, component list, programming logic, and setup instructions.
• Progress updates and a final presentation summarizing the team’s design process, testing results, and recommendations.
