Platform for Learning: Introduction to Computer Science CS 160
The Platform for Learning project is an initiative from Oregon
State University and particularly the College of Engineering to
explore new ways to teach science and engineering in the classroom
and beyond. It involves several departments from the COE.
This part of the project uses LEGO robots to teach engineering
concepts to students and give more interesting hands-on to students.
The purpose is also to keep them enthousiastic about learning
engineering. LEGO RCX Robots are used in CS 160 Introduction to Computer
Science as
well as in the Chemical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering Department.
Lego RCX are a powerful tool for innovative teaching in the classroom!
