 == Frequently Asked Questions ==
 '''Q: I didn't participate in the course during the first term.  Can I still participate?'''
-:A: Yes.  There will be some makeup work in the first term and you may need to do some additional reading to come up to speed on your subsystem, but there it should be no problem getting caught up within a short period of the start of the course.

 '''Q: I can't make it to the organizational meeting.  Can I still participate in the course?'''

 '''Q: Can seniors take the course (since the competition is after graduation)?'''
-:A: We anticipate that the major design aspects of the project (which is what the class is about) will be done by end of spring term, so definitely it should be a good class to take as a senior if you are interested in design of large scale systems (eg, something that requires 20-50 students instead of 2-5).  If it turns out you can find a way to stick around campus during the following summer, you could continue to participate in the final implementation leading up to (and even including) the competition.

 '''Q: How much instruction does the class provide? While I am a sophomore, I still feel like I have not taken enough practical classes to contribute to a large project such as this'''
-:A: The course is designed so that everyone from freshman to seniors can participate.  You'll definitely make use of work from your sophomore classes and well as the classes you might take in your junior year.

 '''Q: Would you suggest taking ME 13 (the machining class) before taking this one?'''

 '''Q: Do you have any advice for someone who's choosing between ME 72 and CS/EE/ME 75, or even considering taking them both?'''
-:A: They are quite different courses with very different goals and approaches.  In ME 72, you and a partner do the entire design of the system.  In CS/EE/ME 75, we tackle projects that are too big for a single person to understand everything (and definitely too big for a small group to do all of the work).  So you learn about some aspect of the project, but also participate in building something that combines a lot of different types of technologies.  You might want to discuss this with your advisor, since he or she might have some additional insights based on the other courses you have taken and your specific interests.
