Title: Problem-based Learning in Robotics - Where we are and Where we should be?
Abstract:
In this talk, I will present the diverse prospects
which a multi-disciplinary domain of robotics offers for preparing the next
generation of engineers and scientists. In particular, role of robotics in STEM
(Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education will be discussed
with a focus on associated challenges and opportunities. I will present a case
study of a funded project on robotics-inspired practical learning framework.
Finally, I will briefly mention emerging learning and teaching strategies that
find potential in robotics.
