Abstract
This Industrial Robots course is one of twelve courses in the NSC Mechatronics Technology 30-credit certificate program. The Teaching Toolkit for the course includes a course overview (the Read Me First document), a learning outcomes map, a suggested syllabus, lesson plans, and supplemental materials. The course also includes online modules that are designed to help students through common sticking points and better prepare them for face-to-face instruction. (Sticking points are available online via the Open Learning Initiative (OLI) platform see link below; the OLI materials provide feedback to learners and instructors based on students use of the interactive activities. These modules can be reordered or combined with other OLI content to meet specific instructional needs, and can be used via an institutions LMS or served directly through the OLI platform.) In addition to curricular materials, this file includes the NSC Mechatronics Technology Program Guide which provides a full overview of the NSC Mechatronics Technology Certificate program, including information about the industry, the curriculum, program infrastructure, the role of the business community, and student success strategies. Colleges interested in other courses in the Mechatronics Technology Certificate program, or considering adopting the full program, can find the individual courses in the National STEM Consortiums Learning Resources Collection in SkillsCommons. Look for the twelve courses with the name beginning Course: NSC Mechatronics Technology Certificate Program. The full NSC Mechatronics Technology program, including the interactive online modules, also is available on the Open Learning Initiative website, www.oli.cmu.edu (see link below).
