This course introduces the Arduino, an open-source platform for building digital devices and interactive objects. You'll explore the Arduino board, its libraries, and the Integrated Development Environment (IDE). Learn to program Arduino using C code, control external devices via pins, and understand how shields extend functionality. This program is ideal for aspiring software developers, embedded systems engineers, and hobbyists eager to create interactive hardware projects. By the end of this course, you will be able to: - Outline Arduino board components and functions. - Program Arduino using C language fundamentals. - Debug embedded software on Arduino platforms. - Implement serial communication protocols. To be successful, a basic understanding of programming concepts is beneficial. You will use the Arduino IDE and C programming language.

The Raspberry Pi uses a variety of input/output devices based on protocols such as HDMI, USB, and Ethernet to communicate with the outside world. In this class you will learn how to use these protocols with other external devices (sensors, motors, GPS, orientation, LCD screens etc.) to get your IoT device to interact with the real world. Most physical devices use analog signals; however computer hardware is digital so in this class you will learn how these signals are converted back-and-forth and how this must be considered as you program your device. The basic design of a sensor-actuator system will also be covered. You will also learn how to build more sophisticated hardware systems using Raspberry Pi expansion boards to create fun and exciting IoT devices. Please note that this course does not include discussion forums.

The Raspberry Pi is a small, affordable single-board computer that you will use to design and develop fun and practical IoT devices while learning programming and computer hardware. In addition, you will learn how to set up up the Raspberry Pi environment, get a Linux operating system running, and write and execute some basic Python code on the Raspberry Pi. You will also learn how to use Python-based IDE (integrated development environments) for the Raspberry Pi and how to trace and debug Python code on the device. Please note that this course does not include discussion forums.

This course introduces the rapidly expanding world of the Internet of Things (IoT) and embedded systems, exploring how technological trends are enabling new innovations. You'll learn about the societal impact of IoT, key design considerations, and the critical interplay between hardware and software components. We'll cover essential networking concepts to connect your devices to the Internet, preparing you for roles in IoT development and engineering. This course is for aspiring IoT developers, hardware engineers, and anyone interested in the foundational concepts of connected devices. By the end of this course, you will be able to: - Define the Internet of Things and its impact on society. - Describe embedded systems, their components, and interactions with the physical world. - Analyze hardware and software trade-offs in IoT device design. - Explain basic networking, Internet protocols, and their role in IoT connectivity. To be successful in this course, you should have a basic understanding of computer concepts.

In this Capstone course, you will design a microcontroller-based embedded system. As an option, you can also build and test a system. The focus of your project will be to design the system so that it can be built on a low-cost budget for a real-world application. To complete this project you'll need to use all the skills you've learned in the course (programming microcontrollers, system design, interfacing, etc.). The project will include some core requirements, but leave room for your creativity in how you approach the project. In the end, you will produce a unique final project, suitable for showcasing to future potential employers. Note that for the three required assignments you do NOT need to purchase software and hardware to complete this course. There is an optional fourth assignment for students who wish to build and demonstrate their system using an Arduino or Raspberry Pi. Please also note that this course does not include discussion forums. Upon completing this course, you will be able to: 1. Write a requirements specification document 2. Create a system-level design 3. Explore design options 4. Create a test plan
