That level of collaboration between departments (and thus the vast offering of such unique programs) is difficult to find elsewhere. CMU's Robotics program is arguably the best in the world.
Return to Savanna. The African Savanna biome is a tropical grassland in Africa between latitude 15Â° North and 30 degrees S and longitude 15 degrees W and 40Â° West.
A savanna is a rolling grassland scattered with shrubs and isolated trees, which can be found between a tropical rainforest and desert biome. Not enough rain falls on a savanna to support forests. Savannas are also known as tropical grasslands. They are found in a wide band on either side of the equator on the edges of tropical rainforests. Savannas have warm temperature year round. There are actually two very different seasons in a savanna; a very long dry season (winter), and a very wet season (summer). In the dry season only an average of about 4 inches of rain falls. Between December and February no rain will fall at all. Oddly enough, it is actually a little cooler during this dry season.
