College House Enterprises is a relatively new publisher of textbooks for engineering students and books emphasizing robotics using LEGO microcontrollers. We incorporated in 1997 and since then have published more than thirty-five titles dealing with engineering and robotics. These textbooks show a new approach to teaching design and analysis, and reflect the ideas, opinions, and experiences of faculty members and teachers from many schools, colleges and universities. The interactions and experiences of instructors from several colleges, large and small, public and private, aided immensely in shaping the material included in these textbooks. The content is based on successful practices in teaching engineering design and robotic development to interested students ranging in age from 12 to 35.
We attempt to publish four to six titles each year. Visit the "News" page to learn about the new books that we published this year and the titles scheduled to be published next year.
