Tangible Programming for Basic Control System New Frameworks to Engineering Education for Children

Abstract:

Programming control in industrial design is by its nature expert upon an example being Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). Such programmes are unsuitable for children or novices as they cannot understand how to use the programme. This research seeks to present tangible programming for a basic control system in new frameworks in engineering education for children. Such programmes could be for use in kindergartens, primary schools or general teaching where knowledge about basic control is required. Normally open-loop and closed-loop control system programming is taught at university and college level. This may be late as far as acquiring knowledge of basic control systems is concerned. Using tangible programming without a computer but instructions and interface, relay and motor could result in children in kindergartens and primary schools being able to programme open-looped control systems which mix chemicals or closed-loop control systems which control conveyor belts. However, the children would not be able to undertake programming using programmable control in a similar scenario.
