Co-Creation and Competition : Cross-Departmental Education through Robot Making

Abstract

In recent years, engineers are required to have not only knowledge of information engineering, but also research and development skills that can be applied to various fields, and new educational methods are needed. Therefore, we conduct cross-disciplinary joint experiments in the first-year laboratory classes of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering and the Department of Electronic and Mechanical Engineering at our school. In this class, under the theme of “co-creation” and “competition,” students will build robots using mbot and compete in programming. This class aims to improve students’ communication skills with engineers from different fields and increase their interest in manufacturing.
