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, test, costing, presentation and demonstration, while incorporating Agile project management principles. Students focus on technical skills and soft skills concurrently throughout the module and will consider the impact of their design on achieving the United Nation Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) 2030.
