Aims of Module
To provide knowledge on concepts, architecture models, and applications of Internet of Things (IoT). To develop skills to implement a simple integrated system which receives and processes data from sensors and responds to the data or transfers the data via the internet.

Learning Outcomes for Module
On completion of this module, students are expected to be able to:
1 Explain Internet of Things concepts, protocols, technologies, and developmental frameworks.
2 Assess privacy, security and trust issues in the Internet of Things.
3 Assemble data from a sensor network created with low-cost single board computer systems.
4 Formulate an Internet of Things system based on a simple sensor network.

Indicative Module Content
Concepts of Internet of Things and the technologies utilised. Approaches and Techniques used to develop software for embedded, restricted and interconnected systems. Interfacing hardware and software with sensors, displays and cloud based data collection and visualisation. Fog Computing. Developing sensor systems based on IoT. Wearable Devices. Introduction to Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT).

Module Delivery
The module will be delivered through a mixture of lectures, tutorials and workshops online and on-campus, a blend of both methods adapted. Each week there will be a 2 hour theoretical lecture session, 2 hours of hands on experience workshop and feedback session.
