Skills

Earning Criteria

  • Complete all 6 Arduino and Electronics skill-building workshops hosted by the ITLP: Arduino Intro, Motion, Communication, Miniaturization, Electronics Intro, and Soldering.
  • Pass the “Arduino Fundamentals” certification exam hosted by Arduino LLC.
  • Complete a short-answer “Arduino-based Circuits and Systems” practicum.
  • Design and build a unique, Arduino-controlled electro-mechanical system with at least one output and/or one input, of a complexity deemed appropriate by a Microcredential advisor. Document the design in a way that is easily understood and replicated by an engineer of a comparable aptitude. Present the project and defend the design when reviewed by a panel of advisors, justifying design choices through test results.
