Robotic allows engineering students to understand to do analysis, design, and implementation while working. The usage of robotic for engineering education aims to increase student understanding with real practices. The Computer programming course is the main course of engineering faculty. Generally, students get difficulties to understand the logic of programming course and they have a negative bias about that course. This study attempts to examine the effect of the robots on students' attitude in the programming course. With this aim, a hundred students are divided into two groups as experimental and control groups. Students who are in the experimental group used computer and robots and control group students used a computer. Computer Programming Attitude Scale was applied to both groups to determine students' attitudes. The statistical results showed that robot usage has affected positively the experimental group of students’ attitude in the computer programming course.
