First-year mechanical engineering students created 25 playable arcade games, then invited the public to give them a try on campus. 🕹️

This project was the the culmination of a semester-long first-year course that introduces students to fundamental concepts of engineering.

"Students were required to apply the knowledge they acquired this semester in areas such as microcontrollers, motors, and sensors to their projects," said teaching professor and lead instructor Steven Marra.
