- Basic sensors and Arduino shields
- Basic circuitry
- Basic sensors and actuators (ultrasound, light, sound, touch, servos, DC motors)
- Bluetooth capable SoC devices
- Network-aware devices such as ESP32, LORAWan etc.
- IoT devices built out of the basic parts
- Sending and receiving data via the Internet
- Ideation, idea research, implementation cycle
- Building the device
- Testing and maintaining

Starting level and linkage with other courses

DIG002AS2A Innovation and Prototyping is a good basis for this course.

Implementation methods, demonstration and Work&Study

Lectures, problem-based learning, team work
7 hours of classroom work per week, followed by independent group work.
This course can be passed with recognition of prior learning, if the student produces valid documentation of building IoT systems.

Passing this course via RPL is possible by producing valid documentation of an extensive IoT project with business considerations included.

Assessment criteria - grade 1

When the implementation type of the course is contact, online or blended it is required that the student is present during those teaching hours that are marked in the study schedule. If you are absent more than 25 %, your grade will be lowered by one. If you are absent more than 50 %, the course is failed.

Knowledge - The student has limited understanding of IoT. He/she is able to describe how a basic IoT device can be made
Skills - The student has good skills in using available parts in IoT design and can come up with a simple device.
Competence - The student shows satisfactory activity and initiative in learning process.

Assessment criteria - grade 3

Knowledge - The student is able to ideate and describe how to produce an IoT device as part of the team.
Skills - The student has good skills in using available parts in IoT design and can come up with a simple device.
Competence -The student shows activity and initiative in learning process. He/she is willing to develop his/her IoT skills further.

Assessment criteria - grade 5

Knowledge - The student has a good understanding of the IoT world and able to ideate various credible approaches towards a given IoT device
Skills - The student has excellent skills in designing innovative approaches towards the IoT device and delivering a competent, working device.
Competence - The student shows excellent activity and initiative in the learning process. He/she is independently taking his/her skills further using other online tutorials than those in the course.
