This course provides a comprehensive overview of data, various data types, design of databases for storage of data, and creation and manipulation of data in databases using SQL. By the end of this course, students will be able to describe what business intelligence is and how it’s different from business analytics and data science, conduct a basic descriptive statistical analysis and articulate the findings, and differentiate between types of statistics. They will also be able to define normalization and ETL, create an ERD that shows progression from conceptual to logical to physical design, define DDL, DML, DCL, and TCL, and write SQL scripts to create a database and associated tables.

By the end of this project, you will learn how to create Social Media ads with Canva to promote your business. An essential role of your social media marketing strategy is to establish your online identity and to appeal to your users. In this guided project , we will use the free version of Canva. You will be able to incorporate a color scheme, images, and other design elements for aesthetically pleasing and value added business marketing collateral. We can use Canva to complete this project because it provides all the tools you need to create organized and visually appealing products while offering a variety of options for sharing and collaboration. You will learn how to plan and organize your ideas and utilize graphic design tools as you create social media ads to advertise your brand or products on different social media platforms.

This course can also be taken for academic credit as ECEA 5387, part of CU Boulder’s Master of Science in Electrical Engineering degree. This is part 3 of the specialization. In this course students will learn : * About SystemC and how it can be used to create models of cyber-physical systems in order to perform "what-if" scenarios * About Trimble Engineering's embedded systems for heavy equipment automation * A deeper understanding of embedded systems in the Automotive and Transportation market segment * How to debug deeply embedded systems * About Lauterbach's TRACE32 debugging tools * How to promote technical ideas within a company * What can be learned from studying engineering failures

In this 1 hour long project, you will learn how to conduct a complete research on the basic dimensions of a Table Lamp, design the Table Lamp using the right measurements, Render the design, add visual elements and create a scene suitable for it. Note: This course works best for learners who are based in the North America region. We’re currently working on providing the same experience in other regions.

By the end of this project, you will be able to lead and document a 4 Ls project retrospective to explore lessons learned while focusing on actions and improvements. To do this, you will gain hands-on experience working in the Miro online visual collaboration platform for teamwork while you build trust, improve morale, and increase engagement during a project retrospective. Note: This course works best for learners who are based in the North America region. We’re currently working on providing the same experience in other regions.

Think about decisions you make every day and the processes that you use. Have you ever seen them laid out in a chart format? Flowcharts can be used to develop a process or outline steps. Flowcharts are a great tool to use to plan your websites or apps and to figure out complicated processes. In this project, you will learn more about the steps to making a flowchart, and you will use Wondershare Mockitt to make a flowchart.

Design is the first phase in the digital manufacturing process. In this course, through a series of lectures and hands-on lessons, we’ll examine a designer’s approach to the design and manufacturing process—from concept to 3D model. We’ll start by applying design thinking to understand user needs, and then we’ll explore design criteria as we dive deeper into Autodesk® Fusion 360™ sketching, modeling, rendering, and documentation features.

In this course, you will gain an understanding of the critical importance of user interface design. You will also learn industry-standard methods for how to approach the design of a user interface and key theories and frameworks that underlie the design of most interfaces you use today. Through a series of case studies on commercial systems - many of which you likely use on a regular basis - we will illustrate the benefits of good design. We will also demonstrate how the costs of bad design can often be severe (in user experience, money, and even human lives). You will then gain a high-level understanding of the user-interface design process. You will be introduced to common design scenarios - e.g. improving on existing designs and starting a new design from scratch - and the general design processes that tend to be used for each scenario. Finally, we will begin introducing the large body of existing knowledge on design by providing overviews of core user interface design theories and concepts. This key foundational information will help you avoid “reinventing the wheel” when you are designing your interfaces in this specialization.

In this 1-hour long project-based course, you will learn how to easily create beautiful data visualization with Kepler inside Jupyter Notebooks and effectively design different geospatial data visualizations.

In this 1-hour long project-based course, you will learn how to implement the basics of C++ and OOP program design, discover pointers and memory management in C++, and find optimal situations for using C++ in the real world. By the end of the project, you will create an application that can process basic calculator functions from the user, and stores the previous results. With this project we will create a basic first application in C++, and highlight the differences between C++ and other popular programming languages. C++ has been around since the mid 80s, yet despite its age, it is still an essential part of application development today. C++ is the third most popular language for development, and its balance of low level access and high level concepts ensures that it still holds an essential role, especially in large-scale enterprise development. Students looking to re-skill for another job will find this course gives them a great introduction to C++, and more advanced students looking to refresh their memory will also be at home. Join the course, and get a powerful crash course into C++. This course works on the Rhyme platform, which allows you to have a custom Windows VM that ensures you don't have to worry about any of the setup work that normally causes beginners trouble with C++ or any new language. Students will be able to code along on their desktop and learn by coding with the instructor. Note: This course works best for learners who are based in the North America region. We’re currently working on providing the same experience in other regions.
