Equipment & Stationery
“It is strongly recommended that students have a reasonably powerful, up-to-date laptop computer capable of running Windows for this course, as the majority of the programming and electrical, and mechanical design is computer based. Students need to be able to use this software at home as well as school, to get the most out of this course.”
