About this course

You can take this course as a standalone (one-off) course/module, or accumulate it towards a Master's degree (up to two standalone modules can be transferred towards the flexible Master's degree).

The course is aimed at postgraduate students who already have:
a background in electronic engineering or a related subject
an understanding of basic networking
some software (coding) experience
You don't need any pre-requisite qualifications to take this course, although a basic understanding of engineering mathematics will be beneficial.

The course runs over four days, followed by a three-hour tutorial and an optional assessment.
A certificate of attendance will be issued on completion for those who take the module but not the assessment.
If you take and pass the assessment you'll get a certificate stating this, which includes your pass level.

Course programme

The course has a significant practical content: 50% of the time will be spent on practical lab exercises, involving IoT system design and software development.

It's broadly divided into two parts:

  1. development in the cloud
  2. development at the edge

It's assumed that you'll already have a basic familiarity with coding (in any language).

1. Development in the cloud

This part of the course makes use of the IBM Bluemix cloud data analytics platform and Node-RED visual tool for wiring together hardware devices.

These tools use a graphical user interface and training will be provided.

The underlying programming languages for these tools are JavaScript and HTML (though prior knowledge of these languages is not required).

2. Development at the edge

For this part of the course, familiarity with functional C/C++ programming would be useful since these languages are used to configure the sensors and edge-computing platforms.

An example of a programming environment used for this part is Energia by Texas Instruments.
