CIS 170 — Internet of Things (IoT) - Connecting Things
From washing machines to sophisticated components of an airplane's jet engine, even organic items like crops and cows, nearly every object can now be connected to the Internet. The ability to connect things and capture useful data from these connections is transforming organizations in every industry and opening doors for new career specializations. This course is for people who love creating devices. From designing electronic circuits to writing code, the IoT (Internet of Things) provides the platform for various types of professionals. The goal of this course is to explore things and their connection to the IoT by conducting hands-on labs both individually and as a member of a team. Discover the basis of this exciting and emerging field using fun, hands-on activities to model securely connecting sensors to cloud services over IP networks and collecting data in an end-to-end IoT system. While an understanding of basic programming (such as PCAP: Programming Essentials in Python), networking and electronics knowledge is useful, it is not required. (CSU)
