CSCI 1110 — Ohio Code Scholar
This course is designed to explore the engineering de- sign process to create a functional robot from concept Course Descriptions to final presentation. Students will research, design, as- semble, wire, and program their own robot to perform specific tasks. Emphasis is placed on problem-solving, iterative design, and documentation of the process. Over the semester, students will maintain a detailed weekly engineering log, produce a formal research and reflection paper, and create a narrated process video explaining and demonstrating their work. The final project will be presented to the instructor and peers, demonstrating both technical skills and the ability to communicate complex ideas effectively. The specific project theme changes annually, ensuring students encounter new challenges and innovative applications of robotics each year. This course is offered in connec- tion with the Ohio Code Scholar program, a statewide initiative that engages students in hands-on coding, electronics, and robotics projects to build technical skills, creativity, and collaboration across K–12 and higher education. This course is repeatable for credit.
