Aims and objectives
This unit of study aims to have you develop C programming knowledge, practical skills of technical drawing in CAD, visualization and graphical communications, and different approaches of robot programming required for completion of Robotics and Mechatronics Project 2 in the 2nd semester.
After successfully completing this unit, you should be able to:
1. Analyse and design structured computer programs for solving moderately complicated algorithms. (K1, K2 K3, K6, S1, S3)
2. Apply computer programming techniques to solve practical problems. (K2, K6, S1, S2, S3)
3. Use CAD software to the level specified by AS1100 Engineering Standards and conventions. (K2, K3, S3)
4. Interpret technical drawings. (K3, K6, S1)
5. Describe engineering terminology. (K3, S1)
6. Demonstrate graphical communication skills. (K6, A2)
