In Microcontroller & Coding, students learn how software and hardware work together using industry-relevant microcontrollers and programming workflows. Students are introduced to coding fundamentals, logic, and control systems while programming microcontrollers to interact with motors, sensors, and electronic components. Through hands-on builds and iterative testing, students apply real engineering processes to create functional capstone projects, such as a motorized maze, that respond to user input and real-world constraints. This course mirrors how engineers prototype embedded systems used in robotics, automation, and consumer technology.
