Recommended Prior Learning

Open Entry

Equipment & Stationery

“It is strongly recommended that students have a reasonably up-to-date laptop computer capable of running Windows for this course, as the majority of the course work requires the use of the Arduino programming environment, Diptrace for designing printed circuits, and Fusion 360. Students need to be able to use this software at home as well as school, to get the most out of this course.”
