The Arduino Micro-credential serves as an endorsement that the engineer is able to combine and apply knowledge of Arduino, micro-controller, circuits, and electro-mechanical systems in a meaningful way. Successful completion of this micro-credential also reflects the engineer's ability to explore innovative design paths and justify their design decisions to their peers. It represents a level of intuition and intention behind the engineer's design work that is otherwise unmeasured. Experienced software and embedded systems design engineers know that the syntax and theory behind a design are only part of the design process; both the implementation of best-practices (such as the proper documentation of a CAD model, or the use of error handling in a piece of code) and design intuition are the indicators of an engineer who has cultivated their skills with experience and intention. These are the traits of a valuable teammate in any professional engineering project and traits that students must demonstrate to complete the Arduino Micro-credential.
