Hey Robert, we’re happy to have you on board as our new Electrical Engineering Co-op! To aid your first few days at WARG, we’ve developed a startup guide that you can refer to for important information regarding your internship.

About WARG

The University of Waterloo Aerial Robotics Group (WARG) is a student design team affiliated with the Sedra Student Design Centre (SDC) at the University of Waterloo.

The principal objectives of WARG are:

• To enable students to learn about robotics and develop innovative new aerial robotic solutions through collaboration and non-classroom instruction.

• To expose students to all aspects of project management, fundraising, marketing and exposure to various mechanical, electrical and controls challenges.

• To provide an opportunity for students (of all backgrounds) and experts to work together in an effort to accomplish these goals.

This year, we are seeking to meet these objectives through attendance at the AEAC student competition. WARG is currently developing a quadcopter aircraft (project Pegasus) to compete in this year’s competition at the end of May.

The Electrical subteam is responsible for architecting, designing, integrating, and validating off the shelf and custom electronics designs into our competition airframe, testing airframes, and associated ground station hardware.

This Spring 2024 term, the team is focusing on our system integration ramp up to competition in May and will then begin designing system architecture for our next competition roughly a year out. This co-op is intended to be developing projects longer term than just this competition cycle and will be decoupled from system level engineering in favor of electrical board (PCBA) level engineering.
