Description
This course combines the technical development of a mechanical system, such as a billiard-playing robot, with agile leadership principles. Students design, prototype, and test the striking unit, intentionally left imperfect to encourage iterative improvement. Through structured milestones, they develop engineering skills, such as creating precise locking mechanisms and integrating coupling systems, while applying agile methodologies to foster continuous improvement. Simultaneously, the course emphasizes leadership development by challenging students to work in interdisciplinary and international teams, reflecting the global nature of modern professional environments. By applying agile principles to real-world challenges, students enhance adaptability, collaboration and problem-solving skills.
