Objective

IoT-Devices and Wireless communications will cover the basics of designing an an Internet connected device. The course will cover the basics of selecting micro-controllers and sensors for use in a smart device.
Common standard wired communication protocols used to interface sensors and other devices in the system (such as I2C, USB, UART etc.) will be studied. In addition, common wireless protocols used for Personal Area Networks(PANs) (Zigbee, thread, Bluetooth...) and Low Power Wide Area Networks(LoRa WAN, 6LoWPAN) will be studied in detail. The knowledge acquired from the lectures and course slides will be applied into designing their own IoT device. Students will be expected to demonstrate their designs in the form of group presentations and a final report.
