About EDT



In September 2000, the Engineering Design Team (EDT) was created by a few UIC undergraduate engineering students whose interestes were grounded in technology and robotics. The club was designed to give students a chance to use their engineering knowledge to design and build robots to achieve a set of goals while competing against other teams. Since robotics incorporated many of the engineering fields such as mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering, the club became very diverse with numerous young men and women from different engineering fields. When students join EDT they can expect to be part of an active and capable team that holds a strong passion for what they do. The overall experience and knowledge that they gain not only nurtures their passion to excel as UIC students, but also helps them develop professional engineering attitudes.

  • Gain valuable experience as undergraduate engineers
  • Develop leadership and communication skills
  • Expand students' knowledge of numerous engineering disciplines
  • Reinforce the strong reputation of the UIC College of Engineering
  • Work in many different disciplines and multi-disciplinary projects
