Description
Physical, real-world things are becoming increasingly visible and actionable via Internet and Web technologies. Propelled by dramatic decreases in technology costs, a proliferation of sensors, improved connectivity including between devices, the market is estimated to grow to €10bn world-wide by 2022. This includes cell-phones, washing machines, jet engines and soon, humans.
The goal of the module is to look top-down as well as bottom-up, to provide students with a practical understanding of the Internet of Things and the forms it can take - human-to-human, human-to-device and device-to-device.
By looking at a variety of real-world application scenarios of the IoT and diverse implemented applications, the various understandings and requirements of IoT applications become apparent. This allows students to understand what IoT technologies are used for today, and what is required in certain scenarios.
Students will be given the opportunity to apply these technologies to tackle scenarios of their choice using an experimental platform for implementing prototypes and testing them as running applications.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;
1.
Evaluate the term Internet of Things by describing some current and potential business applications and the different technologies employed.
2.
Work collaboratively with others to use, adapt and contribute to open source repositories of IoT coding solutions
3.
Synthesise knowledge of and skills with micro-processor boards and related components/libraries to build small IoT sub-systems
4.
Create an Internet of Things application which connects sensor data to an Internet Application Programming Interface (API).
Teaching and Learning Strategies
Work will be predominantly conducted in small lab-based groups, typically working in pairs. The emphasis will be on experimentation to explore the interplay between software and hardware in pursuit of an identified goal. The objective is to assist the student in identifying embedded knowledge in the problem domain, work to understand it in praxis and attempt to apply it in the context of his/her own need.
Module Assessment Strategies
Assessment will be 100% continuous assessment given the practical nature of the module. The aim is to assess tacit knowledge as well as explicit codified knowledge (both self- and open-sourced), testing the student's ability to deal with problems as they arise. The ability to analyse, identify & recognise bugs/incompatibilities/faults/solutions is best gauged over an extended assessment period.
Ongoing quiz and online discussion activity will be conducted between weeks 3 and 10.
Repeat Assessments
Repeat assessments will follow a similar form to the continuous assessments presented over the module. In the case of non-attend repeat students, it may be necessary to purchase a micro-controller board & a small set of related components, all of which is readily available.
