Study Guide

Objective

Student gets a general view of the information technology and computer engineering by implementing an Internet of Things (IoT) system under guidance. Student knows the basics of data communications and web-based systems.

Student can implement a simple embedded system according to guidance. Student can make the electronics needed to a simple embedded system. Student can write a small application which reads measurements from the sensors and sends the measurement data to a server program through internet. Student can develop a simple server program, which receives and stores the measurements and shows them to user in a web page.

Content
