Catalog description

This workshop applies problem solving and programming skills toward building physical systems using an array of fundamental skills. The course will cover basic electronics and hardware skills like soldering, circuit building, and basic programming for an electronic prototyping platform to interface with digital and analog inputs (sensors), control motors, and use displays. Throughout the workshop you will work in groups to build basic physical systems (e.g., controlling LEDs) to moderately sophisticated ones (e.g., developing remote controls). GAM 240 or CSC 241 or IT 130 is a prerequisite for this class

Resource relevance

Hands-on labs, fabrication, instrumentation, or physical production technology described in the official catalog course description.
