A learning approach based on robotics in Computer Science and Computer Engineering

Abstract

It is well known that the number of students that arrives to engineering studies decreases every year, due to the difficulty that these studies present, when compared to other studies, in a society that tends to be more social oriented than in the past. In order to increase the interest of the students this paper presents a Project Based Learning (PBL) that involves hardware and software using the robotics as the main object in computer studies. This educational project is being held in the Computer Science and Computer Engineering studies of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona.
