A robotics project involving the custom design and implementation of analog transducers into LEGO robots has been added to our sophomore-junior level analog electronics course. This project allows the integration of circuit components whose properties and applications are learned throughout the course into a final unified project, motivates students to exercise initiative and creativity, and demonstrates a current application of analog electronics. Feedback both from students and the campus community has been very positive.
