Internet of Things for a Connected World

Internet of Things for a Connected World includes the hardware, technologies, operations and software involved in the world of IoT.

This module will explore disruptive innovations made possible by IoT, with hands-on examples from Singapore. Learn the overview of the entire ecosystem from single devices to smart cities and consider questions ranging from how to implement IoT and provide a strategic advantage to the business.

This module aims for you to gain knowledge and understanding of IoT embedded systems, their architecture, and operations, through to deployment, operation, maintenance, and analysis of IoT.

You will understand IoT devices through a taxonomy of systems, sensors, and networks, be familiar with the state-of-the-art in IoT, and current constraints in design and operations, and think about future trends.

Through a mixture of lecture-based instruction backed up with demonstration and discovery, self-paced learning, and online sub-modules, students will master the ability to understand and analyse IoT systems.

This includes significant aspects related to development, operations, and maintenance, and being confident to interact directly with IoT devices.
