About this Specialization
1,881 recent views
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.
Applied Learning Project
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.

How the Specialization Works
Take Courses
A Coursera Specialization is a series of courses that helps you master a skill. To begin, enroll in the Specialization directly, or review its courses and choose the one you'd like to start with. When you subscribe to a course that is part of a Specialization, you’re automatically subscribed to the full Specialization. It’s okay to complete just one course — you can pause your learning or end your subscription at any time. Visit your learner dashboard to track your course enrollments and your progress.
Hands-on Project
Every Specialization includes a hands-on project. You'll need to successfully finish the project(s) to complete the Specialization and earn your certificate. If the Specialization includes a separate course for the hands-on project, you'll need to finish each of the other courses before you can start it.
Earn a Certificate
When you finish every course and complete the hands-on project, you'll earn a Certificate that you can share with prospective employers and your professional network.
