This Intelligent Vehicle’s design and construction is a two semester senior year design capstone course and likewise an extracurricular activity from which participating students can earn design credit. Roles practiced during the project development are team organization and leadership, roles such as business and engineering management, language and graphic arts, and public relations are also practiced during this period.
