Fall 2025 Lecture Laboratory Upper Division
This course will explore the emergence of technologies and vertical solutions in the Internet of Things (IoT) domain. The course explores the top-level problems that IoT promises to solve, the business drivers, the attributes of IoT-enabled enterprise and consumer markets, and how IoT is different from the contemporary Internet. The course will discuss and apply IoT components such as the "things", the data, the people, and the processes, as well as vertical markets. Emphasis will be placed on types of architecture, reference models, and standards (both open and proprietary), underlying technologies, commercial products, issues (such as security), and research efforts in the Internet of Things. The lab component will focus on the complete IoT ecosystem (sensors, actuators, networks, etc.), but will specifically emphasize the functionality of IoT cloud platforms. Permission of instructor is required.
