Image Discuss: Team 190 "INS"

[ColleenShaver]

The brains behind it on our team were mainly either computer science or electrical engineering (students and graduates alike, not all from WPI).

Dave's got good advice-- check out what it means for the school you're interested in attending. For instance, at WPI we have "Electrical and Computer Engineering" which would probably be the department that something like INS would fall under. You would need to check out course catalogs at each college to see what is required and available. At WPI, you could look at past MQPs (Major Qualifying Projects, known at many schools as senior projects) and their topics to get a feel about what people in that major study.

And if you're just looking for someone on your team that could build something like INS, once that portion of the team is over some of our major off-season activities (they write scoring software, etc for our off-season comps and others), they may be willing to put in some time explaining the basics of it.
