Integrated Teaching & Learning Program offers first college micro-credential
ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder students can now expand their skillset with the latest Arduino knowledge – something in high demand in today’s job market.
The (ITLP) at the has launched the first micro-credential that focuses on technical content. Their goal with the new Arduino micro-credential program is to serve students looking to improve their proficiency with Arduino microcontrollers.
“In order to become and stay ProReady in the engineering and applied science job market, students with an earned degree must seek continuing education and training to stay technically relevant,†said Ben Weihrauch, senior director of student professional development. “Earning micro-credentials through ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Engineering, such as Arduino, is a great way to be technically current and augment your degree to be more appealing to an employer.â€
Upon successful completion of the Arduino micro-credential program, students will receive a digital badge with achievements of the program's requirements and learning objectives. This endorsement will display the student’s capability of combining and applying knowledge of Arduino, micro-controller, circuits, and electro-mechanical systems. The micro-credential will also serve as evidence that the student is able to optimize the implementation of an Arduino into robust, robotic systems.
The ITLP’s mission is to provide curriculum and support for hands-on engineering education across all engineering disciplines. They offer project consultation and engineering learning to all students. The team is prepared to support up to 10 students for the Arduino micro-credential program’s premiere semester.
