Communication with the arm is done by using the RS-232 protocol.The robotic arm used in the laboratory has five degrees of freedom, each degree of freedombeing controlled by a servomotor. The servomotors are controlled via pulse-widthmodulation (PWM), the width of each pulse being indicative of the position to which motorshould move.Three experiments are considered. The first experiment simply makes the robotic armavailable to the student for direct control by moving different sliders. Each slider controls amotor. This would be the preliminary task to students who are new to robotics, and wouldfamiliarise them with the workings of the robotic arm. The second experiment demonstratesthe effect of

The course traditionally supported several majors and differentprogramming languages through separate sections, including the Fortran and C languages, with alecture and laboratory component that combined for 3 or 4 credits. Previous faculty memberstook different approaches about the content and learning objectives of the course, leading toinconsistent learning outcomes for students. This also made it difficult for departments to predictthe programming skills their students would have in future classes; invested
