Types of projects to facilitate the teaching of educational robotics

Educational robotics as an instructional technology helps to unify the diversity of computing and technical topics into a single cohesive unit. Delivered as a problem based learning unit, different types of robotic projects can be extensively used to demonstrate individual design and construction technology using specific hardware and software development tools. These projects are to be carried out as third year or Honours level programs. The contributions from these projects as part of educational robotics in an instructional technology curriculum are significant.
