EE395 Personal Robotic Research


What's New for EE395/EE391/EE491

Posted on May 1, 2005

8/30/05 Preface
Welcome to EE395. This is a new trial for the Instructor to organize EE395 using Blog website, relatively new here UVM (Undergraduate Student class Blog is here). The goal for EE395 is to introduce all participants how to publish their project in academic conferences. The project will be identified in the early weeks, and will be presented in the seminar format usually two or three times in the semester. Imagine that resume with some publications will be much impressive and will demonstrate their capabilities of research and academic outcomes. Most of their projects will be extended into their thesis. Some published work are listed in the Instructor's webpage.
