Course Number : EEE F411

Course Title : Internet of Things

Instructors : Dr. Sandeep Kumar (In-Charge), and Dr. Ponnalagu R N

TA : Renuka H

1. Scope and Objective:

This module is designed to provide students with solid technical knowledge and skills to build Internet
of Things (IoT) systems. Internet of things has evolved due to convergence of multiple technologies -
embedded systems, sensor technology, real-time data analytics, machine learning etc. Traditional
fields of embedded systems, wireless sensor networks, control systems, automation (including home
and building automation), and others all contribute to enabling the IoT. This course comprehensively
covers various technologies and tools used for enabling IoT solutions. Knowledge of various topics
required for building IoT prototypes like sensors and actuators/ Communications and networking and
data management is also imparted in this course. This course would also help the students understand
the various IoT security challenges and solution to address them. The course will also give the students
exposure to how various real world problems are being solved by IoT based solutions (like in
applications for smart city, smart farming etc.). There would also be some hands on sessions where
students would learn how to build and program IoT systems and make end-to-end solutions for
different applications. Furthermore, assignments and projects in this course would help students build
IoT prototypes and apply what they have learnt in the course to solve real world problems.
