This course is practical in nature and is evaluated through several laboratory experiments and a course project. While guidance will be provided, the course takes a student-centred approach, requiring students to undertake some amount of independent research and to think critically. These ultimately serve to enhance students’ problem-solving skills and build confidence. It is highly recommended that students take ELET2405 before taking this course.
Course Assignments/Experiments: Students are required to complete up to 6 practical assignments (experiments) that are designed to give students a hands-on introduction to various technologies utilised in the development of Internet of Things (IoT) systems, remote data acquisition and transfer systems, and web-based data storage, retrieval, and display. Students are also exposed to the use of various serial communication technologies and environmental sensors. Manuals for each experiment are available on the course site.
Course Project: Students are required to individually design and implement electronics systems utilising the skills and information garnered during the execution of the laboratory activities and independent 323 research. This should be done concurrently with the laboratory experiments as the skills and technologies are introduced.
Note: To complete the experiments and project, students are required to purchase the necessary electronic components and materials. The list of items will be communicated to students at the beginning of the course.
