Hi Wendy! I remember talking to you about this a couple years back. Purdue students do get 2 technical elective credits per semester for our FIRST class. A part of the seminar will be us talking about our class structure, but if there is additional information you would like, i.e. copy of our syllabus I will gladly email that to you, just PM me your contact information.

Also, here is a link to our conference page with some of our previous college FIRST program conferences:
http://www.purduefirst.org/college-c...s-conferences/
The outlines, notes, and presentations are all available there and could be helpful with breakdowns of other colleges' programs as well.

I second the request to record the presentation. Also will you be around Champs after the presentation cause if I can I would like to pick your brain to get some tips for our program.
It is on my to do list to try to get someone to provide a video recorder for the conference, I will try my best to make it happen! I am the organizer of this conference and have been a presenter in years past, but unfortunately I have had to last minute back out of travel for championships. If you would like to contact me regarding College FIRST Programs, PM me and I can give you my email or phone.
