Learning objectives
Ability to learn principles
The student will acquire knowledge on the main considerations and issues in designing and realizing IoT systems. In particular, topics on signal acquisition, conditioning, data transmission, power consumption, manufacturing, security and reliability will be discussed. With such introductory classes, the student will develop knowledge on base IoT architectures, the main standards for interoperability and main performance metrics.
Ability to apply learned principles
This course focuses on practical case studies, useful to demonstrate how to apply learned concept to the design, realization and test of an IoT device. The whole device development chain is discussed, from sensor interfacing to signal acquisition and processing, power management and manufacturing.
Learning objectives
This course aims at presenting basic topics on IoT enabling technologies. It cannot fully and exhaustively cover all technological aspects of the field, which is recent and in continuous evolution. Therefore, the focus will be on common aspects and evaluation metrics, to give some foundations upon which the student will autonomously build future specific professional knowledge. Relevant technical and scientific references will be introduced, for continuous self-learning.
Communication skills
The student will learn how to effectively discuss the main design phases, choices and challenges.
