Outcomes
- This course object centers around designing and developing an IoT project for a real client. Students would engage with the client to understand their needs, challenges, and goals. They would then conceptualize, design, and develop an IoT solution that addresses these requirements. This involves understanding the client's industry, identifying the appropriate IoT technologies (sensors, devices, networks), and developing a feasible project plan
- Given the real-world nature of the projects, an essential course object is teaching students effective teamwork and agile frameworks. Students would learn to work collaboratively in teams and manage agile sprints. This object would also cover communication skills, both within the team and with the client, to ensure clear and consistent updates and feedback loops.
- This object focuses on the technical aspects of implementing an IoT solution. Students would gain hands-on experience in programming IoT devices, setting up networks, integrating different technologies, and troubleshooting. This includes learning about IoT security, data management, and possibly machine learning applications, depending on the project's complexity. The goal is to equip students with the skills to not only develop an IoT solution but also to adapt and problem-solve as challenges arise during the project.
