Course Description

CSC 453: Introduction to Internet of Things (IoT) Systems is a senior-level CSC restricted undergraduate elective on the concepts, protocols, techniques and design methodology underlying current and emerging networked wireless sensor/actuator systems coming to be known as IoT systems, at the intersection of physical computing, semantics and analytics, wireless communications, and networked distributed systems. Design considerations of such systems include diverse metrics such as delay, stability, privacy, expandability. The course includes (i) descriptive material on basic concepts and techniques appropriate to sensor networks, and analytics and semantics concepts appropriate to IoT systems, and (ii) hands-on work with a sampling of representative sensors and actuators, small format computers, networked application programming, and validation in real physical environments. The course includes a term project with assigned teams and project areas to design and implement a complete small IoT system. Students will be expected to purchase equipment for the course, costing about $70-$130.
