In eCornell Certificate Programs
Have you ever had a great idea for an interactive product but you didn’t know how to build it? If you have some programming knowledge and a desire to build devices, this hands-on certificate program will give you the applied foundation you need to take the next step.
Throughout this program, you will engage in several project builds using both Arduino and Raspberry Pi. After being guided through the foundations of electronics and computing to develop simple devices that respond to user input, you’ll progress to creating complete devices that have complex functions, including networked communications that connect one device to another. As you build these interactive devices, you will also gain an understanding of how human users and devices can exchange information in a smooth, natural way. Whether you’re involved in engineering, robotics, computer science, or product development, you’ll come away from this program prepared to design more effective and sophisticated interaction between products and end users.
This program leverages open-source libraries and requires the purchase of a kit of electronic components and microcontrollers at a cost of around $530. To be successful in the courses, you should have familiarity with programming, be technically savvy, and have an understanding of key computer science principles.
The courses in this certificate program are required to be completed in the order that they appear.
