The Internet of Things: Sensors, Platforms, Communications, and Applications | EMBD.X413
The course consists of two parts. In the first part, the course offers an overview of IoT and covers the basics of designing and developing IoT applications, including the building blocks of IoT, characteristics of IoT systems, and IoT design patterns. Sensors, actuators, IoT hardware platforms, and communications capabilities will all be explored. The second part covers how to design and prototype IoT applications with a focus on end-to-end solutions. Taking the knowledge gained in the first part of the course, one will implement several end-to-end solutions, gaining important practical experience.
Learning Outcomes
At the conclusion of the course, you should be able to
- Describe the different technologies that enable building IoT systems
- Design methodologies and best practices for IoT
- Discuss different sensor technologies
- Design end-point IoT devices and server-side IoT technologies
