Abstract

Computer programming is one of the major skills required for engineering students. This research focuses on developing a programming method that combines static interaction with dynamic interaction. The static interaction procedure shows the program execution results on a computer screen. The dynamic interaction procedure employs a programmable robot. The executable program is transferred from the PC to the moving device to demonstrate the result of the program. The proposed method can be used to enhance student incentive to learn computer programming. This method is patented by invention number I336820.
