Course detail

Principles and Design of IoT

FIT-TOIAcad. year: 2021/2022

The course reflects modern trends in the field of data acquisition and processing from sensors. The lectures provide the foundational knowledge in possibilities of data acquisition from sensors, fusion of data from multiple sensors, themes of data analysis in IoT systems (data mining, classification, decision support algorithms), control of sensor module consumption, communication in IoT systems, design and implementation of IoT systems. In the practical part (project) students will go through all phases of development of simple IoT system from design stage to realization of functional system.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

By completing the courses, student gets knowledge about function and composition of IoT system. The acquired knowledge can then be used to implement its own IoT system based on sensor modules, communication means, cloud or actuators. Valuable knowledge can include data processing and analysis for management or decision making purposes.

Prerequisites

Valid schooling of Edict No. 50 (work with electrical devices) is needed.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Aims

In the course, students learn about the possibilities of digitizing physical phenomena of the world, analyzing data from sensors for decision making and with basic concepts of IoT systems. The aim is to teach students the necessary knowledge of IT for design and implementation of IoT systems.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

In the case of missed HW laboratories it is possible to replace them until the laboratory is ready for further laboratory practice. Please inform the head of the laboratory or the course supervisor without any delay.
