System Programming Academy (Resident) 7/11-7/22/16

Robotic Systems: Using Microcontrollers 7/11-7/15/16

Have you ever wondered how technology is interfaced to the real world or how a robot can sense the environment and move about?  Embedded microcontrollers are the underlying devices that drive the technology behind today’s automobiles, robots, and cell phones.  Learn the fundamentals of microcontrollers, which range from elementary programming to the basic electronics necessary that allow microcontrollers to perform simple tasks.  Each student will work individually with the BASIC Stamp microcontroller module and obtain hands-on experience with electronics components and Basic programming.  The program will end at noon on Friday.

 (lab fee and materials included)

Computer Programming: JAVA 7/18-7/22/16

Course description:

This course will focus on the development of fundamental concepts of algorithm design and programming in Java.

Topics include program construction, compiling\interpreting-running-debugging cycle, sequential programming (starting with "Hello World"), variables, data types, expressions, input/output, user-defined functions, assignment statements, conditionals (if - else), iteration (while and for), and arrays. Basic computer graphics will be incorporated as well (to the degree that time permits) as well as basic applet design.

Prior knowledge of a programming language is recommended, but not necessary.

College Resident Experience Description:

William Paterson University lays down the foundation to prepare student for success, with an option to stay on campus to experience college life.  While the focus is on academics and learning, the social experience that results from bringing students together is an integral part of our summer program.  Students discover the joy of living, studying, and relaxing on a beautiful suburban university campus with state-of-the-art facilities, design, and technology. Students will participate in structured and supervised evening activities and dine in our cafeteria (students will be assigned a roommate and two suitemates).  Resident students will participate in evening enrichment workshops with other Pre-College summer youth residents’ on-campus for social activities. College students are hired to mentor, supervise and reside with the resident students.   

This is an opportunity not to be missed!

Only students who have registered for a full-day or combination of two half-day programs (morning and afternoon) have the option to register for the College Resident Experience.
