Credits 3
Instructional Method
Academic Level
This project-oriented class leads students through three open-ended, small-to-mid-scale design briefs in the context of the Arduino development environment. Students will explore interaction, environmental/ambient sensing strategies, and more complex digital electronics systems as a means to increase their understanding of contemporary approaches to electronics and computation. Simultaneously, students will learn strategies for seeing a project through from ideation to completion. Regular critiques will provide an opportunity for students to share their individual research with their colleagues as well as receive direct feedback from the instructor.
