Interactive Device Design Certificate

In eCornell Certificate Programs 

Have you ever had a great idea for an interactive product, but don’t know how to build it? Have you ever thought about getting an Arduino or Raspberry Pi and want to build something truly amazing with the kit, far beyond getting a light to blink?
If you have some programming knowledge and a desire to build devices, this hands-on interactive certificate program will give you what you need to take the next step.
Throughout this program you will engage in several project builds using both Arduino and Raspberry Pi. You will be guided from the very basics of electronics and computing through the creation of simple devices with displays that respond to user input, and on to complete devices that have complex functions, including networked communications from one device to another.
As you build these interactive devices, you will also gain an understanding of how human users and devices connect in a smooth, natural way.
Whether you’re involved in engineering, robotics, computer science, or product management, you’ll come away from the program prepared to design more effective and sophisticated interaction between products and end users.
This program will leverage open source libraries and require the purchase of a kit of electronic components and microcontrollers. To be successful in the courses, you should have familiarity with programming, be technically savvy, and have an understanding of key computer science principles.
