IoT Sensor Systems (IoTSS)

Description

The course covers Internet of Things (IoT) sensor systems, emphasizing the transformative potential of integrating sensor technology with the IoT across various industries. A systems engineering approach will be adopted throughout the course, where students will review and critically discuss key technologies employed at different levels of the IoT stack and how they're integrated to form complete IoT systems. Through lectures and practical activities students will gain a comprehensive understanding of the IoT ecosystem and the critical role of sensors, develop skills in designing, implementing, and managing sensor systems for IoT applications, to finally comprehend the challenges of data acquisition, processing, and management in sensor-based systems, communication technologies and protocols essential for IoT sensor networks. Students will learn through a variety of formats including interactive videos, practice quizzes, presentations, assignments, discussion forums and final project to delve into the technical and practical aspects of designing and deploying sensor systems within the IoT infrastructure with a key focus on exploring considerations of energy efficiency, sustainability, security, and privacy in IoT sensor systems.
