Traditionally, only computer devices were connected to the Internet. The Internet of Things (IoT) seeks to connect every “Thing” to the Internet. Things may include sensors, vehicles, home appliances, structures, etc. In this course, students will learn how to interconnect different Things to the Internet using web technologies. Using such well-developed and well-supported technologies makes it easier to deploy the IoT network in a cheaper and more secure way. Students will also learn how to send information back to the Things for actuation purposes. Students will learn how to fuse raw sensor data in a meaningful way for large networks.
The course will also cover the connectivity technologies available for the IoT and how to choose the most appropriate technologies for different scenarios. The course takes a deeper look at low-power, long-range wireless protocols as well as appropriate protocols for constrained devices in the IoT ecosystem. In addition, students learn about PCB design and hardware prototyping. The course combines several labs and a final class project to enhance student learning.
The objectives of the course are to:
After completing the course, students will be able to:
