Objectives of the Course This course will give an overview of the fundamental concepts and enabling technologies for the Internet of Things. The course helps students to understand basic concepts and methods in related areas and will enhance the student’s ability in applying them to solve real-world problems. The theoretical knowledge will be supported with practical sessions by applying programming skills to implement various IoT use cases and applications.
Course Content IoT System Overview
Hardware Platform (Sensor & Communication Architecture )
Network Technologies and Solutions
Software Platforms and Services
Data Processing
Semantic Technologies and Interoperability
System Models and Applications
Security
Course Methods and Techniques This course combines theoretical instruction with hands-on practice to provide a comprehensive learning experience in the field of the Internet of Things (IoT). Alongside lectures covering foundational concepts and enabling technologies, students will participate in practical sessions where they will develop and test IoT applications using tools such as Contiki OS, the Cooja network simulator, and physical hardware including ESP32 and Arduino Nano devices. These sessions aim to strengthen students’ programming skills in embedded and networked environments, enabling them to configure, simulate, and deploy real-world IoT systems.

To consolidate their learning, students are required to demonstrate a final IoT project that addresses a real-world application scenario. This capstone activity encourages creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving, and provides an opportunity to apply the theoretical and practical knowledge gained throughout the course.
