1A2-B05 Development of the Line Tracing Robots for Mechatronics Education : Evaluation Report of the 2008 Class

Abstract

We are developing mechatronics education program using the line tracing robots which are controlled by the microcomputer. This program is applied to the freshmen as an introductory course of an engineering experience. The class consists of hardware production, software development, and time trial. We wish students to feel fun as well as difficulty of hands on practice of engineering, and pleasure when they completed their mission. This paper describes the result of the lecture of the Department of Electrical Engineering named "Engineering Practice" which adopted these educational materials.
