2 COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course is a study of the basic principles of industrial robotics for non-technology student. This course is presently offered to students in a Business Program. By studying how robots have evolved into today s automation tool, the student will learn how a robot can be integrated into a manufacturing or production system COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES: Upon successful completion, students will be able to: 1. Understand and use correctly, the terminology associated with the robotics industry 2. Identify the various configurations of robots available 3. Become familiar with the applications and operations of robots in the workplace ESSENTIAL EMPLOYABILITY SKILLS (EES): This course supports the students ability to: Communicate clearly, concisely, and correctly in the written, spoken, and visual form that fulfills the purpose and meets the needs of the audience. Respond to written, spoken, or visual messages in a manner that ensures effective communication. Locate, select, organize, and document information using appropriate technology and information systems. Analyze, evaluate, and apply relevant information from a variety of sources. Show respect for the diverse opinions, values, belief systems, and contributions of others. Interact with others in groups or teams in ways that contribute to effective working relationships and the achievement of goals. PRIOR LEARNING ASSESSMENT & RECOGNITION PROCESS (ES): This course is eligible for PLAR through the Registrar and SETAS offices. Assessment of portfolio and/or testing may be discussed with faculty. EVALUATION & GRADING SYSTEM: Mid-term Test 30% Final Examination 40% Lab Assignment 30% An overall 50% success rate is required. Final examinations should be retained for one year by the College. However, it is college policy to make final examination papers available to students for supervised review, on request. STUDENT ACCOMMODATION: All students have the right to study in an environment that is free from discrimination and/or harassment.

3 If students are unable to write an examination due to a medical problem or unforeseen family problems, they should immediately contact their professor or program Chair for advice. In exceptional and well documented circumstances (e.g. unexpected family problems, serious illness, or death of a close family member), students should be able to write a make-up examination to replace an examination missed. TEXT AND OTHER INSTRUCTIONAL/LEARNING MATERIALS: Introduction to Robotics in CIM systems by James A. Rehg, Prentice Hall. ISBN USE OF DICTIONARIES Dictionaries may be used in tests and examinations, or in portions of tests and examinations, as long as they are non-electronic (not capable of storing information) and hard copy (reviewed by the invigilator to ensure notes are not incorporated that would affect test or examination integrity); 8/27/2008 THIS COURSE ADHERES TO ALL COLLEGE POLICIES (See College Calendar) Page 3

4 College Policies POLICY STATEMENTS The following statements are selected from Centennial College policies approved by the Board of Governors. Student Responsibilities Students are expected to know the contents of the course outline and to discuss with the professor any areas where clarification is required. Students should keep all course outlines for each course taken at Centennial College. These may be used to apply for transfer of credit to other educational institutions. A fee may be charged for additional or replacement copies. Other Policies Students should familiarize themselves with all College Policies that cover students rights, responsibilities, and the Academic Appeal process. For further information, consult the Academic Matters Section in the full-time and Continuing Education calendars. The Academic Appeal Application form is available from any Enrolment Services Office. Proof of Student Status Students must produce official photo identification at any time during the semester when requested to do so by any professor. (The official piece is the Centennial Student Card.) Continuing Education students do not have Centennial Student Cards, and so they may use other forms of photo identification, such as a driver s license, health card, or other government-issued photo identification. Final Examinations When writing a test or examination, students must put their official photo-id cards in full view for review by the invigilator. Students who do not have official photo-id will be permitted to write the examination with a substitute photo-id, but they will be required to produce photo-id at the program or department office within 24 hours or the next business day following the examination, or else the examination results will be void. More Final Examination Policies are available at Academic Progression Policy for Diploma and Certificate Programs: College Academic Standings will be applied. Please see Academic Policies and Procedures, Full-Time Calendar. Faculty Consultation Professors are available to see students outside of class time. Students can contact professors via voice mail, , or through their program or department office. Information regarding how to contact teachers will be provided at the beginning of the course and is also available in the program or department office. Human Rights Statement It is the policy of the College that all programs will strive for a learning, teaching, and working environment that promotes inclusion, understanding, and respect for all students and employees, consistent with the Ontario Human Rights Code and Centennial College's Statement of Diversity. 8/27/2008 THIS COURSE ADHERES TO ALL COLLEGE POLICIES (See College Calendar) Page 4
