The KOSEN, whose mission is to foster creative and practical technical engineers, has gained a fine reputation from industry. In order to continue accomplishing this aim, the KOSEN conduct practical and professional engineering education based on a five-year integrated system with general subjects and specialized subjects. This system is called “wedge-shape configuration of subjects”. In our department, the fourth and fifth grade students learn advanced technology concerning control theory, instrumentation engineering, programming language, software computing, and advanced technique concerning embedded technology through these lectures. The feature of the curriculum in our department is “line tracer robot oriented”. In this curriculum, basic line tracer robots are developed to high technology ones as grade in college advanced. Basic tracers are developed with simple logic devices. High technology tracers are controlled by microcomputers, such as H8. This paper describes details of the line tracer robot experiments and contests using microcomputer. Proposed idea in this paper can be applied to other education sector from an educational perspective.
