Interdisciplinary Arts 0146 - Practical Electronics: From Hacking to Production

From Hacking to Production will explore the creative arsenal available to the contemporary electronics hobbyist. There will be in-class discussions about the flaws and triumphs of modern electrical devices. We will cover the basics of electrical theory, analog electrical technology, digital technology, 3D printing, circuit board design and micro controllers. This class will allow students to creatively engage in the world of electronics while also learning how to use electronics to create useful practical electrical devices that are ready for production. Much of this class will be hands-on soldering, wiring and fabrication in the center for design.

Arts, Design, and Media Independent Work Lab fee: $75. In this course, students can expect to spend approximately 5 hours weekly on work and preparation outside of class time.
