Topics typically include kinematics, Newton‘s Laws, conservation ofmomentum and energy, rotational motion, and fluid mechanics. As such, numerous strategies,including the writing strategies to be described, have been developed that center around theaccommodation of students‘ diverse learning styles [27 – 33]. Students that enroll in the course most often do so to satisfy the university‘s sciencerequirement for graduation. The students come from a wide-array of academic

This implies designing a robotcapable of autonomously balancing on two wheels, interpreting data provided by sensors, andtaking actions based on that data. This project provides an opportunity for the practical applicationof the concepts covered in these subjects, emphasizing the integration of knowledge in a singleproject. An inverted pendulum is an unstable system since its center of mass is located above thepivot point, tending to fall.
