This course guides you through the process of understanding, designing, and building systems that connect devices to the internet for data collection, monitoring, and control. You will gain knowledge of essential technologies, including sensor networks and communication protocols like MQTT and CoAP. Additionally, you will learn how cloud platforms manage and process large amounts of data generated by connected devices.
Throughout the course, you will explore the architecture of IoT solutions, focusing on how different components interact. You will learn methods to connect devices reliably using both wired and wireless networks. Data management techniques will show you how to collect, store, and analyze data securely and efficiently. Security is a major focus; you will study strategies to safeguard IoT systems from cyber threats and unauthorized access.
Hands-on projects are an important part of the curriculum. You will build prototypes by integrating sensors and actuators, giving you practical experience in real-world scenarios. Analyzing IoT data will help you understand patterns and make informed decisions.
By completing this course, you will be ready to develop and deploy smart solutions across multiple industries. For example, you can design systems for smart cities, improving traffic and energy management. In healthcare, IoT can monitor patient health remotely, which you can explore further in our Healthcare IoT Solutions section. Agriculture also benefits from IoT through precision farming techniques described on our Agriculture Tech page.
