Course design in engineering should be able to address the core competencies that are required by the engineering profession. To implement this concept many courses are structured to include real-situation projects. From the view point of mechatronic engineering education, it is clear that a robotic project will be suitable to integrate the course contents. However, to provide necessary theoretical skills for students to solve real engineering problems, project only is not sufficient in the subject. In this paper the design and delivery of a subject in robotics at the University of Western Sydney (UWS) is presented and discussed. In particular, this paper reviews the concept behind the course contents, assessments and delivery design. The paper has also demonstrated the impact of such course design in student performance and perception using student survey results and final grades in classes. |
