In this course, students will fabricate and test hardware devices that are basic building blocks of modern information processing devices, such as a PDA.

Intuition for the devices will be motivated by technology limitations, of what can be accomplished with existing devices, versus what we would want the devices to do. These would-be holy-grail capabilities such as brain-like processing power, free energy, telekinesis, and muscle-like robotic actuators. Group problem solving will address potential solutions to current  technology limitations. The intent of this course is to better prepare the students to understand the context of higher-level technical courses in electronics, photonic, and mechanical devices.
