So that's kinda cool.
Clarkson U has a similar program. Senior year, all engineers are required to do either a design project, or work as part of an integrated design team. FIRST Robotics is offerred as a senior integrated design project. Basically, that means we have 5 senior mechE's and 5 senior sparkE's that work strictly on FIRST for both semesters.
