ME 455
Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
Professor Alapan's microrobotic class is heavily focusing on research in this niche field. Would have 2 big project so be prepared if you are a undergrad and dont like group working. But overall there is no exam and if you are actually listening and reading there is nothing to be afraided. He is a nice guy and reply email very fast and kind.
