Abstract

Creating a good curriculum for any course is challenging. This is especially true for courses that cover wide area of interest, courses that are supported by hardware components, or the courses that evolve rapidly, as technology evolves. A course that encompasses these challenges is the course entitled Robotics at the first cycle of studies for computer science students. This paper presents one Robotics course that is customized for computer science students. The effect of the presented course on students’ performances is given.
