About
Craig Morin is an engineering educator whose work centers on robotics design pedagogy and hands-on learning experiences for first-year engineering students. Over nearly two decades, Morin has been instrumental in shaping a robotics design project that serves as the cornerstone of a first-year engineering honors program at a large Midwestern university, providing students with meaningful, project-based introductions to engineering principles. His most-cited contribution, "Design of a Full-Featured Robot Controller for Use in a First-Year Robotics Design Project" (2020, 12 citations), details the development of a sophisticated yet accessible robot controller purpose-built for undergraduate education, demonstrating his commitment to closing the gap between professional-grade engineering tools and student resources. Complementing this work, his research on low-cost camera-based positioning systems (2020, 4 citations) addresses a persistent challenge in educational robotics — cost barriers that limit true autonomy in student projects — by introducing affordable vision-based solutions that expand what novice programmers can achieve. Through these contributions, Morin has meaningfully advanced the field of engineering education, equipping the next generation of engineers with practical, real-world design experience from their very first year of study.
