Internet of Things
Start your career in smart product design and rapid prototyping in just 10 weeks.
What You Will Learn
In Deep Dive’s Internet of Things (IoT) bootcamp, you will master the fundamentals of rapid prototyping by creating and coding smart connected devices built around low-power computer chips. Using powerful but low-cost sensors and micro controllers, you will learn to create devices that respond to their environment and collect and track data about those conditions and responses.
Our experienced instructors provide hands-on product design experiences for students who are transitioning from manufacturing and mechanical work to the technology field, as well as anyone interested in how and why things work.
If you are curious about the IoT bootcamp but aren’t ready to register, please don’t hesitate to fill out our contact form, and we will answer any questions you may have.
Highlights
- Critical thinking and project selection
- Building a smart lighting controller
- Devices for smart cities and/or smart manufacturing
- Fundamentals of circuit design, coding C/C++, and integration
- Micro-controllers and Cloud-based IoT controllers
- 3D modeling and rapid prototyping skills
- Access to SolidWorks 3D design software, 3D printers, laser cutters, and wood and metal fabrication equipment
Requirements
Our learners must have a willingness and ability to communicate, collaborate and work in teams.
Learners are also expected to have practical understanding and experience with computers, including an intermediate proficiency operating a laptop and mouse, navigating popular operating systems and search engines, creating documents, and adding/ starting/ removing applications and systems on personal devices.
Learners must use their own laptop in this class with an operating system of Windows 10OS or Mac 10.13 or above. Webcams, a working headset with a microphone, and a mouse for design software may also be required. Chromebooks and tablets are insufficient. For programs delivering asynchronous/online learning activities, reliable internet access with a minimum of 3.8Mpbs/3.0Mbps (up/down) is required.
