Internet of Things Project
Description
The Internet of Things (IoT) project module provides a structured engineering project experience in the general application area of the Internet of Things. Students develop an individual project in a collaborative learning environment, with structured support lectures, laboratories and mentoring on selected subject areas. The module progresses from idea creation, research and planning through design, build, coding, test, problem-solving, presentation and demonstration, while incorporating agile principles. Students focus on technical skills and soft skills concurrently throughout the module.
