During my undergrad (in ME) I did a lot of controls courses (and I think this is common in ME programs), so framing the programming around control would make sense. In general, teaching new skills focused around a use-case is more motivating than teaching it for its own sake. | |

(At my institution, ME students must take several relevant EE courses, so I would expect those students to be well-prepared for a robotics course, even though we don't offer such a course.) | |

| Aug 5, 2017 at 5:07 | comment | added | David | Does their ME curriculum require them to have had any programming before this? Or is this the students' first exposure? That will largely determine the way you approach the course, but even in either case you should probably expect their ability level to be lower than EE, CE, or CS students. | |
