Students completing the workshop with faculty.
SUNY Distinguished Professor Junaid Zubairi organized a workshop recently on using and applying microcontrollers, in the robotics and vision lab.
The workshop was conducted by Dr. Syed Misbahuddin from Sheridan College in Toronto who was assisted by Dr. Aleem Alvi from Centennial College in Toronto. The workshop generated interest from Computer Science and Computer and Information Systems majors and non-majors, as well as those who wish to learn hardware design and development as an additional skill in the AI era.
Dr. Misbah introduced different types of microcontrollers and their applications from smart phones to microwaves and robots. He demonstrated the use of online simulators such as https://wokwi.com/ for developing microcontroller-based projects for popular platforms such as Arduino, microbit and the Raspberry Pi based microcontrollers known as PICO and PICO 2.
Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Andy Karafa distributed certificates to the participants who successfully completed the workshop.
