Course objectives:
The goal of the course IoT & Wireless Sensor Networks is:
1. To Understand the concepts and characteristics of IoT devices.
2. To Interpret the use of different IoT devices and their prototyping.
3. To Evaluate the Wireless sensor networks characteristics and applications.
4. To Analyze the sensor, transmission technology and systems associated with WSN.
5. To Apply the concepts of middleware, performance evaluation and traffic management in WSN.
Teaching-Learning Process (General Instructions)
The sample strategies, which the teacher can use to accelerate the attainment of the various course outcomes are
listed in the following:
1. Lecture method (L) does not mean only the traditional lecture method, but a different type of teaching
method may be adopted to develop the outcomes.
2. Show Video/animation films to explain the various concepts.
3. Encourage collaborative (Group) Learning in the class
4. Ask at least three HOTS (Higher-order Thinking) questions in the class, which promotes criticalthinking
5. Adopt Problem Based Learning (PBL), which fosters students’ Analytical skills, develop thinking skills such as
the ability to evaluate, generalize, and analyze information rather than simply recall it.
6. Topics will be introduced in multiple representations.
7. Show the different ways to solve the same problem and encourage the students to come up with their own
creative ways to solve them.
8. Discuss how every concept can be applied to the real world - and when that's possible, it helps improve the
students' understanding.
