--Online Course Description:
Study the fields of robotics and engineering to discover the intersection between theory and interactive hands-on application. Explore various fundamental topics, followed by interactive lab exercises and the opportunity to program and construct robots to illustrate principles. Examine the role of robotics in today's society and debate the advantages and disadvantages of using robots in various situations.
--Joy's Overview: The Robotics class is taught by Travis Prochaska and assisted by Ben Bradshaw. This class involves students programming robots to do simple tasks. It also covers a lot of engineering concepts and how they relate to robotics that help the students find solutions to the challenges that are assigned to them. After the instructors help the students understand everything step by step, they do it themselves. The students enjoy this class because it's very interactive and they spend most of their class time on the computers.
"It [favorite highlight] is when we see the robot actually working," said Justin Wright.
"I didn't cover as much as I expected to in the end of the three weeks but as far as using the robots, they [the students] definitely covered a lot of that," said Prochaska.
