Aims and objectives
The Internet of Things (IoT) programming unit will teach students the fundamentals of developing IoT-based solutions for domains such as Smart Homes, Smart Cities etc., using IoT sensors and devices. Students will learn the skills to work with current popular IoT sensors and platforms such as Arduino and will have the opportunity to apply these skills in developing innovative IoT-based solutions. The unit will be hand-on with students expected to work in small groups to design, develop and implement the IoT-based solutions.
