ROBOTIC EDUCATION FOR ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING STUDENTS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF AFYON KOCATEPE

Bekir Çengelci ¹

There is a demand for skilled personnel in automation technologies in Turkish Industry. Therefore some industrial automation courses as compulsory ones and a factory automation one as selective are placed in electrical department curriculum. In this study, a robotic training which is a part of factory automation course for electrical engineering students at the University of Afyon Kocatepe is presented. After graduation, students can work as an applied engineer in industry or a technical teacher at the vocational high schools. Thus robotics teaching methods and subjects are chosen more practical instead of Robotics education with cumbersome math.Also a senior level robotic application project is introduced.
