Spring. 4 credits. Letter grades only.

Basic programming experience in C/C++ is expected.

Z. Teo.

This class provides a hands-on introduction to the design of Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices using microprocessor-based embedded controllers. Students will design, debug and construct real-time IoT digital systems that illustrate and employ techniques of systems engineering. Special emphasis will be placed on communications hardware, network connectivity and network security.

Outcome 1: Student will be comfortable working with and selecting different microcontrollers, sensors, actuators and other hardware components as appropriate for an application.

Outcome 2: Students will be cognizant of the various engineering tradeoffs between different communication technologies used in IoT devices.

Outcome 3: Students will be able to demonstrate basic understanding of computer network systems.

Outcome 4: Students will be able to analyze and identify common security-related issues pertaining to the design of IoT devices.
