Internet of Things (IoT)

Synopsis

ENG233 Internet of Things (IoT) introduces the concepts of IoT and the underlying technologies. Students learn about the IoT architecture, system requirements, IoT system design, interfaces, communication protocols and data storage. This course introduces security issues in IoT systems and outlines measures to maintain the system security. Applications and case studies of IoT are discussed. Students will gain hands-on experience in designing IoT systems during the lab sessions using Raspberry pi or a suitable platform together with the relevant sensors. Students use the Electronics labs to prototype the IoT systems.
