  • CSCI 108: Robot Ways:Exploring Robot Design and Programming

    3.00 Credits
    Randolph-Macon College

    In this course students are introduced to computing, engineering and programming principles as they design, assemble and program robots using LEGO parts, sensors, motors, and firmware. Fundamental robotics skills are learned in the context of building and modifying a number of simple robots. Each of these robots is programmed and built to accomplish a specific task. The students learn by augmenting both the robot structure and the code. The course includes at least one project. Working in small teams, students build and program robots of their own design to satisfy the requirements of a project. Satisfies cross-area requirement in computing. Three hours. Staff.

  • CSCI 214: Algorithms and Programming:Design,Structure and Analysis

    3.00 Credits
    Randolph-Macon College

    Melds together a discussion of software engineering, algorithms and the analysis of algorithms and programmed systems. Requires the development of systems of significant complexity using programming teams applying timely technologies. Examines algorithms (from areas such as graph theory, game theory, search trees, matrix applications), the data structures useful in implementing these algorithms, algorithm development approaches (such as divide and conquer, dynamic programming, branch and bound, backtracking, and greediness) and analysis techniques for examining the space and time complexity of the algorithms. Continues the discussion of software engineering concepts and techniques necessary to evaluate the design, implementation and quality of a system begun in prerequisite courses including expanding the discussion of design patterns. Prerequisites: CSCI 112 or permission of the instructor. Recommended: MATH 220. Four hours. Staff.
