Question 1

Why should I enroll?

Accepted Answer

C++ is a compiled, high-performance language. Robots, automobiles, and embedded software all depend on C++ for speed of execution. This program is designed to turn software engineers into C++ developers. You will use C++ to develop object-oriented programs, to manage memory and system resources, and to implement parallel programming.

Question 2

What jobs will this program prepare me for?

Accepted Answer

C++ is the industry standard for high-performance computer programming.As such, advanced knowledge of this programming language can open the doors for you to work in a variety of industries, including C++ engineering, robotics software, IoT, mobile communications, video game development, operating systems, networking, AI, embedded systems, and more. Your opportunities and roles might include:C++ Software DeveloperSelf-Driving Car EngineerRobotics Software EngineerEmbedded Systems EngineerEntry-Level Game Programmer

Question 3

How do I know if this program is right for me?

Accepted Answer

This program is right for you if you’re an intermediate-level programmer familiar with functions and classes who wants to become a C++ developer or pursue a career in robotics software, IoT, mobile communications, video game development, operating systems, networking, AI, embedded systems, and more.

Question 4

Do I need to apply? What are the admission criteria?

Accepted Answer

There is no application. This Nanodegree program accepts everyone, regardless of experience and specific background.

Question 5

What are the prerequisites for enrollment?

Accepted Answer

To optimize your chances of success in the C++ Nanodegree program, we recommend intermediate knowledge of any programming language.

Question 6

If I do not meet the requirements to enroll, what should I do?

Accepted Answer

For students who have little or no coding background, our Introduction to Programming Nanodegree program is an opportunity to learn object-oriented programming in Python. If you are interested in self-driving cars and have no programming experience, the Intro to Self-Driving Cars Nanodegree program will teach you the basics of object-oriented programming in C++, as well as linear algebra and calculus.

Question 7

How is this Nanodegree program structured?

Accepted Answer

The C++ Nanodegree program is comprised of content and curriculum to support five (5) projects. We estimate that students can complete the program in four (4) months working 10 hours per week.Each project will be reviewed by the Udacity reviewer network. Feedback will be provided and if you do not pass the project, you will be asked to resubmit the project until it passes.

Question 8

How long is this Nanodegree program?

Accepted Answer

Access to this Nanodegree program runs for the length of time specified in the payment card above. If you do not graduate within that time period, you will continue learning with month to month payments. See the Terms of Use and FAQs for other policies regarding the terms of access to our Nanodegree programs.

Question 9

I have graduated from the C++ Nanodegree program, where should I go from here?

Accepted Answer

We highly recommend the Self-Driving Car Engineer, Robotics Software Engineer, and Flying Car and Autonomous Flight Engineer Nanodegree programs. All of these programs use C++, and as a graduate of the C++ Nanodegree program, you’ll have the coding skills necessary to succeed in these programs and the opportunity to specialize in specific areas of robotics and autonomous systems.

Question 10

Can I switch my start date? Can I get a refund?

Accepted Answer

Please see the Udacity Program Terms of Use and FAQs for policies on enrollment in our programs.

Question 11

What software and versions will I need in this program?

Accepted Answer

For this Nanodegree program, you will code with C++17. An internet connection is required. All coding can be done in our GPU-enabled Linux Workspace that runs in your browser.
