    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.
    Further information
    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.
    Teaching methods and instruction

    This course is very much a hands-on, experimental course, designed to give much freedom on choosing the research problem, encouraging innovation, and producing viable and well thought-out IoT projects,

    Learning material and recommended literature

    The material is based on Dr Davide Brunelli's Basics of IoT courseware for University of Trento Master degree program students.

    After that has been discussed, much of the actual material consists of issue-based research into material available on the Internet regarding Arduinos, ESP32s, LORA devices, Raspberry Pis and other devices.

    Working life connections

    This course, while it has no client for now, is a good starting point for those interested in making a career out of IoT. It is hoped that in the future, real clients will provide the course with interesting research projects.

    Campus

    Exam dates and re-exam possibilities

    No exam, grading is based on project.

    Teaching language

    English

    Internationality

    This course is connected to the University of Trento, Italy, Technical University of Delft, the Netherlands, and other international partners as listed in the EU project "IoT Proto Labs".

    Timing

    16.01.2023 - 17.03.2023

    Learning assignments

    Most of the learning assignments are inititated by the students themselves and solvd as part of the course. Students are required to keep a learninig diary every time they work on the course, and to try to provide as detailed a picture of their own learning process as possible.

    Enrollment

    02.01.2023 - 13.01.2023

    Content scheduling

    This course is completed in eight weeks. The first two weeks are spent discussing Dr Brunelli's material, after which an ideation session and idea post-production session will be held to identify the projects the students will attempt to finish in the latter part of the course.

    Alternative learning methods

    It is possible to come to the teacher with an idea of the student's own, and to see if it can qualify as an IoT project.

    Assessment criteria

    Feedback is given during the course and after it, in the last session of the implementation, when the projects are looked into and discussed in class.

    Further information

    This course is graded 40% on the learning diary, 60% on the project work, including the finished project.

    Of the diary, the student's progress, handling of issues during the project, learning points, discussion of personal learning, and attitude towards the course are assessed.

    Of the project, the student's initiative, persistence, problem solving skills and problem solving mindset are assessed.

    While it is not necessary to produce a fully functional device, its viability and the remaining amount of work will be taken into account.
