Abstract
Shibaura Institute of Technology (SIT) has been conducting online international education programs since the onset of the pandemic. In this paper, one of our programs, “Interdisciplinary Online Robotics Workshop” will be examined. This is an interdisciplinary engineering workshop, run in collaboration with University Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM). This online workshop is designed as one of SIT’s online study abroad programs to provide participants with an education in robotics and engineering, using Arduino and Tinkercad toolkits. Malaysian participants also receive an introduction to the one-semester study abroad programs and the various laboratory internship options at SIT. This paper offers insights about: (1) Systematic issues with the way these types of engineering workshop is conducted, in the online study abroad programs that SIT has been running since the start of the pandemic: (2) What types of innovations have been applied to this robotics workshop in attempting to overcome them, while still dealing with the constraints imposed by the pandemic: and (3) Program evaluation results after these innovations were introduced.
