Building on the concepts taught in TEJ3M1, this course teaches students more about circuits, programming and mechanical design. Students are also taught about the real-life applications of robots in various industries like medicine and law enforcement. In this course, students are encourage to think about the issues that they see in the world today and how these issues can be solved through the use of robots.
