This class is offered in an online synchronous format. Students are expected to log into this course via Canvas at the start time of scheduled meetings and participate via Zoom, for the duration of each scheduled class meeting.
No meeting on February 15, 2027. Two "no meeting" dates TBD. To see all meeting dates, click "Full Schedule" below.
You will be granted access in Canvas to your course site and course materials approximately 24 hours prior to the published start date of the course.
Required Tools & Materials:
Students are required to purchase a hardware starter kit, a small board, breadboard, resistors, LED, and wires (estimated 45-60, not included in the tuition) to do class projects on their laptops. These are available on Amazon https://a.co/d/bmhGjaY or https://a.co/d/7ZHsEDG and should be purchased before the first class. For additional sensors or actuators depending on the student's interest, please contact the instructor.
