ELE-111 - Internet of Things (IOT)

3 credits

This course is an introduction to the Internet of Things (IOT). The Internet of Things concentrates on the connection of various IOT “smart” devices to traditional information technology (IT) data networks. IOT devices interact with the physical world and can save their data to servers on the Internet, Google spreadsheets, and cloud servers so we can access our data from anywhere in the world. This is a “hands-on” introduction to the Internet of Things, sensors, and common IOT hardware. The course is a blend of electronic principles, the basics of using Arduino and similar microcontroller boards, some basic programming concepts, connecting sensors & actuators, and communications to IT networks using wired or wireless data networks. ELE-111 provides the foundation for ELE-128 Internet of Things Networking and Security.

Basic computer skills are required to take this course. No prior programming, electronic, or networking experience is assumed.
