Your starting point

Is this course
right for your batch?

Engineering and science students interested in electronics, embedded programming and sensor-based projects.

What students should know

  • Basic electricity and circuit concepts
  • Simple conditions and loops in any language
  • A browser with access to the Wokwi simulator

Tools & lab setup

  • Wokwi browser simulator
  • Simulated ESP32
  • Arduino-style C/C++
  • Virtual sensors, LEDs and serial monitor

Your one-month learning plan

A milestone
every week.

Each week has five teaching days: 10 guided hours and 5 hours of independent practice. The last week includes project review and the final demonstration.

Week 1 · Days 15

Microcontrollers and circuits

  • Microcontroller inputs, outputs and pins
  • Build a virtual LED and button circuit
  • Understand setup and loop
  • Read and debug serial output
Weekly deliverable

A simulated input/output circuit with annotated code.

Week 2 · Days 610

Read sensors

  • Connect a virtual temperature sensor
  • Sample and display readings
  • Use conditions to control an indicator
  • Recognise invalid or missing measurements
Weekly deliverable

A sensor-monitoring sketch with status indicators.

Week 3 · Days 1115

Monitoring logic

  • Use timing without long blocking delays
  • Add thresholds and basic hysteresis
  • Format sample telemetry as JSON
  • Discuss connectivity and device credentials
Weekly deliverable

A stable monitoring loop and sample telemetry log.

Week 4 · Days 1620

Validate the prototype

  • Test normal, high and missing readings
  • Document wiring and assumptions
  • Explain simulator and hardware differences
  • Present the system and possible extensions
Weekly deliverable

A simulator project, test table and short engineering report.

Your final project

Simulated classroom environment monitor

Create an ESP32 sensor simulation that reports temperature, displays status and signals a threshold breach. Deliver serial telemetry and normal/fault test cases. Physical hardware and internet-connected dashboards are optional extensions after the core project.

How learning is assessed

Circuit and code labs, behaviour across normal and fault conditions, and an individual explanation of the monitoring logic.

Students should explain their own decisions, show their work and document limitations. Any certificate conditions are agreed with the college before the batch begins.
