This non-degree program is for individuals who want to learn about motors and motor control circuits. It's a great fit for those in electrical engineering, and it's offered in English. The program helps learners understand how to specify the proper motor for a machine design and integrate it into a machine.

The curriculum covers topics like motor equations, voltage, current, torque, and speed. Learners will implement motor control circuits in both hardware and software, and add a motor and motor control circuit into a microprocessor-based development kit. They will also create hardware and firmware to process motor feedback data.

After completing this program, learners can pursue careers such as Electrical Engineer, Controls Engineer, or Robotics Engineer. They may work in industries like manufacturing, automation, or robotics, and could be employed by companies like engineering firms, tech startups, or automotive manufacturers. Other possible job titles include Motor Control Specialist, Automation Engineer, or Embedded Systems Engineer.
