Start at sub-task a and proceed through this portion of the checklist. Once you ve completed the Pre-Test, go directly to Task 2.

1 Robotics Engineering DoDEA Career Technology Education Robot Programming Area Competency G. Robot Programming 1. Introduction to Robot Programming ( / / ) ( / / ) Before you get started, print out this Agenda. The Agenda is your management and progress assessment tool and it covers this entire module of study. Start at sub-task a and proceed through this portion of the checklist. Once you ve completed the Pre-Test, go directly to Task 2. This and the remaining sections form the instructional meat of this module. While completing these tasks, you ll learn the content and complete assignments that you ll be tested over so study these lessons carefully. Once you ve complete all of the tasks return to this section. If you ve completed all the Assignments and the Learning Log then you must finish the module Practicum and Exam. Please remember that you re required to pass the module Practicum and Exam before moving on to the next module. Upon completion of this module, students will identify the basic components and processes associated with programming languages and programing robotic systems. Students will perform a variety of programming tasks using command lines and a program compiler. To demonstrate their proficiency, students will employ the Engineering and Design Process to design, build and program a robot to solve a design challenge. Start S k i p T o T a s k 2 a.
