2,131 consultations récentes

The objective of this specialization is to provide an understanding of interface design approaches and architectures for creating solid user experiences in embedded system prototypes and products. For both machine and user interfaces, we will look at the best practices for the interface design process, including considerations of the nature and content of interaction, whether between devices, between a device and a user, or in more complex systems.

Projet d'apprentissage appliqué

Projects provide experience in using key UX design methods, prototyping software-based embedded GUIs, and leveraging the cloud for prototyping IoT system elements while leveraging a wide array of functionality. Software elements include Python, Node.JS, Qt, HTML, and AWS.

Cours 1

UX and Interface Design for Embedded Systems

This course can also be taken for academic credit as ECEA 5346, part of CU Boulder’s Master of Science in Electrical Engineering degree.

UX and Interface Design for Embedded Systems is the first of three classes in the Embedded Interface Design (EID) specialization, an online version of the on-campus EID class taught in graduate embedded systems design. This first course is focused on user experience (UX) and the related methods, practices, and principles that will help ensure your embedded interface designs for devices and systems are what your users both need and want. The class includes an introduction to UX, and then a four phase breakdown of a typical UX design process, including planning, user research, design methods, and testing for verification and validation. Much of the content provides generally applicable UX techniques, but particular focus is included for considerations in developing embedded devices. The class includes practical projects that let you try some of the key methods in a thorough interface design process.

Cours 2

Rapid Prototyping of Embedded Interface Designs

This course can also be taken for academic credit as ECEA 5347, part of CU Boulder’s Master of Science in Electrical Engineering degree.

Rapid Prototyping is the second of three classes in the Embedded Interface Design (EID) specialization, an online version of the on-campus EID class taught in graduate embedded systems design. This course is focused on rapid prototyping of devices and systems and the related methods, practices, and principles that will help ensure your embedded interface designs are what your users both need and want. The class includes an introduction to rapid prototyping, prototyping device and system user interfaces, prototyping devices, and design considerations and perspectives for devices. The content ranges from general design best practices to specifics for embedded devices of different types and specific flavors of user interfaces, but all are presented to support developing embedded devices. The class includes practical projects that let you try some of standard methods in software development of prototype graphical user interfaces for devices using Qt and HTML. This course can be taken for academic credit as ECEA 5347, part of CU Boulder's Master of Science in Electrical Engineering degree.

Cours 3

M2M & IoT Interface Design & Protocols for Embedded Systems

This course can also be taken for academic credit as ECEA 5348, part of CU Boulder’s Master of Science in Electrical Engineering degree.

M2M and IoT Interface Design and Protocols is the third of three classes in the Embedded Interface Design (EID) specialization, an online version of the on-campus EID class taught in graduate embedded systems design. This course is focused on connecting devices to each other and to the cloud to create prototypes and actual systems that flow data from devices to consumers. The class includes an introduction to M2M (Machine-to-Machine) and IoT (Internet of Things) concepts, using the cloud to develop IoT systems (specifically AWS (Amazon Web Services) and its IoT framework), a review of common communications protocols at every level of connected devices, and other IoT design concerns such as security, message queuing approaches, and the use and design of APIs and microservices . The content ranges from general design best practices to specifics for select tools and methods, but all are presented to support developing embedded devices in IoT applications. The class includes practical projects that let you try some of standard methods in software development of prototype graphical user interfaces for devices using AWS, Python, and optionally Node.JS. This course can be taken for academic credit as ECEA 5348, part of CU Boulder's Master of Science in Electrical Engineering degree.

Foire Aux Questions

Puis-je obtenir des crédits universitaires si je réussis la Spécialisation ?
If you subscribed, you get a 7-day free trial during which you can cancel at no penalty. After that, we don’t give refunds, but you can cancel your subscription at any time. See our full refund policy.
Can I just enroll in a single course?
Si vous vous abonnez, vous bénéficiez d'une période d'essai gratuite de 7 jours, durant laquelle vous pouvez annuler votre abonnement sans pénalité. Ensuite, nous n'accordons plus de remboursements, mais vous pouvez annuler votre abonnement à tout instant. Consultez notre politique de remboursement complète.
Puis-je m'inscrire à un seul cours ?
Oui ! Pour commencer, cliquez sur la carte du cours qui vous intéresse et inscrivez-vous. Vous pouvez vous inscrire et terminer le cours pour obtenir un Certificat partageable, ou vous pouvez accéder au cours en auditeur libre afin d'en visualiser gratuitement le contenu. Si vous vous abonnez à un cours faisant partie d'une Spécialisation, vous êtes automatiquement abonné(e) à la Spécialisation complète. Visitez votre tableau de bord d'étudiant(e) pour suivre vos progrès.
Can I take the course for free?
Oui, Coursera offre une Aide Financière aux étudiants qui n'ont pas les moyens d'acquitter les frais. Demandez-la en cliquant sur le lien Aide Financière sous le bouton S'inscrire situé à gauche. Vous devrez remplir un formulaire de demande et vous serez averti(e) si elle est acceptée. Vous devrez répéter cette procédure pour chaque cours de la Spécialisation, y compris pour le Projet Final. En savoir plus.
Puis-je suivre le cours gratuitement ?
Si vous vous inscrivez au cours, vous pouvez accéder à tous les cours de la Spécialisation et obtenir un Certificat lorsque vous terminez le travail. Si vous souhaitez seulement lire et examiner le contenu du cours, vous pouvez accéder gratuitement au cours en auditeur libre. Si vous n'avez pas les moyens d'acquitter les frais, vous pouvez faire une demande d'Aide Financière.
Ce cours est-il vraiment accessible en ligne à 100 % ? Dois-je assister à certaines activités en personne ?
Ce cours est entièrement en ligne : vous n'avez donc pas besoin de vous présenter physiquement dans une salle de classe. Vous pouvez accéder à vos vidéos de cours, lectures et devoirs en tout temps et en tout lieu, par l'intermédiaire du Web ou de votre appareil mobile.
Quelle est la durée nécessaire pour terminer la Spécialisation ?
You should be comfortable in programming and basic computer architecture. The two classes with programming assignments use Python and Node.JS, but if you are an experienced C programmer that hasn't used these languages (as with many on campus students), the languages are easy to pick up and use. We do not teach Python or Node.JS in the class, but we do include some references and examples.
Do I need to take the courses in a specific order?
It is recommended (but not required) to take the Rapid Prototyping course before the M2M & IoT Protocols course, as the programming examples will build on themselves more naturally.
Will I earn university credit for completing the Specialization?
Optionally, the three courses can be taken for academic credit as part of CU Boulder's Master of Science in Electrical Engineering degree and related certificate programs.
Puis-je obtenir des crédits universitaires si je réussis la Spécialisation ?
The courses ideally support your own development of interfaces from embedded devices to people, systems, and other devices. Interfaces you'll be able to create include physical device controls, interactive graphic UIs, APIs and messaging interfaces, and connections to mobile, web, and cloud based systems. You'll get some experience with common UX design techniques, UI tools like Qt and HTML, and developing Python and Node.JS to make message-based connections to Amazon Web Services, a typical IoT cloud framework.
