Course Description (Syllabus):

 

In this course, we will explore the basic concepts of IoT, its application and significance in various engineering fields. IoT has become an integral part of modern engineering, revolutionizing the way we design, build, and maintain systems and infrastructure.

 

Throughout this course, we will delve into IoT's components, architectures, protocols, software and its importance in engineering. We will also examine real-world case studies, challenges, future prospects, and hands-on projects to provide a introductory understanding of IoT and its applications in engineering.

 

Learning Outcomes: By completing this course you will learn:

 

1. Definitions and concepts of IoT
2. Components of IoT: Sensors, Devices, Connectivity, Data Processing, User Interface
3. IoT Architecture and Protocols
4. Source list of IoT Software
5. Importance of IoT in Engineering
6. Applications of IoT in Civil, Electrical, Mechanical, Biomedical and Computer Engineering
7. IoT Opportunities and Case Studies
8. Challenges and Future Prospects of IoT in Engineering

 

Who Should Take This Course: 

 

Engineering students, engineers less familiar with IoT and engineers who wish to update their knowledge of this rapidly evolving technology and how it is applied in their field of engineering.

 

Important Note: This course provides a foundation for future eMETA courses on the application of IoT in specific fields of engineering.
