Laser cutting & 3-D printing, Create and build a design of your choice. This course gives students a good basic understanding of mechanical design using Computer Aided Design software (SolidWorks 3D CAD). Model components, create assemblies, and make them using 3D printers, laser cutters and CNC machines. | Make the project that you built in “mechanical’ intelligent This course introduces students to electricity and electronic controllers and physical programming. Learn about components and work with the Arduino microcomputer open source development platform. | Learn the basics of Programmable Logic Controllers: Siemens LOGO! LOGO! is an intelligent logic module meant for small automation projects in industrial (control of compressors, conveyer belts, door control, etc.), office/commercial and home settings (lighting control, pool-related control tasks, access control, etc.). It is deployed worldwide and can be controlled remotely. | B4A includes all the features needed to quickly develop any type of Android app.B4A is used by tens of thousands of developers from all over the world, including companies such as NASA, HP, IBM and others.Together with B4i you can easily develop applications for both Android and iOS. With B4J you can easily create desktop applications (UI), console programs (non-UI) and server solutions. The compiled apps can run on Windows, Mac, Linux and ARM boards (such as Raspberry Pi). |
* In addition to the course material above, we run a personal and professional development program. * Set up your personal website * Get to know Google Cloud and learn how to use the Google Platform. |
