Overview:

ENI714 STEM Robotics Foundation

• ​The STEM Robotics Foundations course provides an overview of the basic robot construction and programming for robotic control.

• learners use Engineering Design Process to build robots, program them, test and analyze, and improve their designs.

• The course is a project-based environment that requires learners to build prototypes or use simulation software to test designs.

• learners develop critical thinking and communication skills by analyzing and presenting their results.
