When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

What will I get if I subscribe to this Specialization?

When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.

Is financial aid available?

Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.

This course will be useful to IT professionals with baseline skills in computer hardware, software support, and development who want to learn how to design, develop, implement, operate, and manage Internet of Things devices and related systems. You'll begin by selecting an architecture for an IoT project and identifying the benefits and challenges of IoT. Then, you'll select a configure a processing unit, select a microcontroller power source, and use a software development kit (SDK) to program an IoT device.

This is the first course in a multi-course Specialization. All of the courses in this Specialization require that you purchase several electronics components that are used to create an IoT prototype kit. This kit is used in many of the activities to illustrate IoT concepts in a hands-on way. The total estimated cost for all parts is under $50. To source these components, consult the list of components in the course setup instructions provided in the first module of this course.
