Description
Aims:
To give the student an exposure and understanding of what makes a good connected device, and develop the skill set to design and build an object that can be used to sense or actuate in the built or natural environment.
Learning outcomes:
On successful completion of this module, a student will be able to:
鈥⑻� Select the appropriate type of sensors to measure the environment
鈥⑻� Understand the basics of how to power electronic systems
鈥⑻� Understand the process of making circuits to connect sensors to compute systems
鈥⑻� Build prototypes using tools such as Arduino/Raspberry Pi/Eagle/Fusion 360
鈥⑻� Specify and source standard enclosures for electronics
鈥⑻� Design methods for safely and securely deploying sensors in the field
鈥⑻� Integrate all components of an end-to-end sensing system so that it can be deployed in the environment
Content:
Through a series of lectures and workshop exercises students will be introduced to the hardware and software of the internet of things that enables us to sense and interact with a connected environment. The module will cover an introduction to the senses, analog and digital sensors, electronic components, energy harvesting and powering connected devices, physical prototyping and deploying / installing sensors.
