Students learn to:

 

 

 

           interpret a data stream for a device for which specifications are provided

Motion Planning Game

           generate a data stream to specify particular operations for a hardware             device, for which specifications are provided

 

           modify a stream of data to meet changed requirements, given the hardware             specifications

 

           cause a hardware device to respond in a specified fashion
