Program description:
The morning session is an introduction to programming and animation in 2d using Processing.  This astonishing tool makes it very easy to learn programming, but everything underneath is still Java, so this is not a "baby" or "toy" language.  If you bring a laptop and install processing (from processing.org), you can even try some yourself. Processing is free open source, and a lot of fun.
The afternoon session is an introduction to programming on the Arduino.  You will see that we can control circuits, read instrumentation, and generally control our world using a tiny computer.  Because the environment that we program in is written in processing, it looks almost the same, and it is very easy to switch between the two.

Instructor: Dov Kruger is an Assistant Teaching Professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Stevens Institute of Technology. Dr. Kruger has developed engineering and programming curricula used in over 45 schools nationwide.  He is currently working on research in secure web protocols and applying for grants to encourage more under-represented groups get into engineering fields.

IEEE/AFCEA Organizer: Dr. Yu-Dong Yao, Professor and Department Chair, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Stevens Institute of Technology.
