RBT 102 - Smart Manufacturing and Advanced Robotics Training, Experimental
Credits: 3
2 Lecture Hours 2 Lab Hours
Description
This course will prepare students with the skills necessary to become a robotics technician. Hands on and theoretical components of robot systems will be explored through five tracks: mechanical foundations, electrical foundations, fabrication foundations, software foundations and robotics integration. Students will also gain an understanding of workplace skills needed for success in a robotics company.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of the course, students will:
- Construct simple circuits.
- Troubleshoot and test wires.
- Control the flow of electricity in circuits.
- Construct wiring panels using terminal blocks.
- Plan and construct the layout of an electronics board.
- Accurately measure component dimensions.
- Assemble a structure using techncial schematics.
