Abstract
The programming language used in information processing education from 2011 in mechanical engineering department was changed to C from Fortran. Not only the numerical computation but also the study of the control using the microcomputer was thereby enabled and a new subject has been initiated in 2013. The name of this 4th grader's subject is "microcomputer control" and is compulsory in half year. Each individual student is using Arduino purchased by oneself, is taking the lesson and doing a programming training. The aim of this subject is to have a student understand next.
(1) what is made with a microcomputer ?
(2) what kind of program is necessary for it ?
Inexpensive sensors and equipment were being used, were prepared subject to feel that there is interest to students. In this report, the contents of the lecture are reported including the later application around an item to treat by a lecture.
