Subject Description
- A hands-on introduction to building Internet of Things (IoT) devices that incorporate sensors, actuators, and communication with other devices and the Internet. This subject teaches how to develop microcontroller-based systems by the design of both software and printed circuit board hardware to implement a required set of features and solve a problem. Students will also learn how to integrate microcontrollers with simple communication systems in order to upload data to the cloud. Students will complete a design project to conceive, design and build a prototype IoT device.
Learning Outcomes
