Programme description

  • Introduction

    In this course, the students will gain an understanding of some of the most important principles of the Internet of Things (IoT). IoT enables the development of unique, innovative products and services. The students will become familiar with architecture and intelligent algorithms that govern IoT and pervasive computing. The goal of the course is to give the students an overall understanding of IoT: from a technical point of view - and in relation to the consequences for society (for example;privacy preservation, security) - when billions (or trillions) of units communicate with each other in ‘the cloud’.

  • Recommended preliminary courses

    The course builds on the computer science courses from the first semester.

  • Required preliminary courses

    No requirements over and above the admission requirements.

  • Learning outcomes

    After completing the course, the student is expected to have achieved the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and competence:

    Knowledge

    The student

    • has a basic technical understanding of the functioning of Internet and computer networks
    • has an overview of the most important principles in pervasive computing, and the Internet of Things, which include;wearable devices, context aware computing, health monitoring, smart houses, crowd sensing, smart grids and ambient intelligence
    • understands the basic technical principles behind different algorithms for autonomous control in the Internet of Things
    • has an understanding of how the Internet of Things and pervasive computing affect security and the protection of privacy in our society
    • has good knowledge of the scientific advances;and technology leaps;that; enabled;the Internet of Things

    Skills

    The student

    • masters basic concepts and has an overview of algorithms used on the internet and in data communication
    • is capable of conceptualising architecture for solutions based on the Internet of Things and pervasive computing;;;;;;;;;; ;;;;;;;;

    General competence

    The student

    • is capable of designing solutions based on the principles behind the Internet of Things and pervasive computing

  • Teaching and learning methods

    Lectures and supervisory sessions. The students work individually.

  • Course requirements

    The following coursework is compulsory and must be approved before the student can take the exam:

    • Three compulsory assignments. Each assignment corresponds to 30 hours’ work.

    The deadlines for submitting the compulsory assignments and other details are stipulated in the teaching plan made available at the start of the semester.

  • Assessment

    Portfolie exam.

    The portfolio consist of different parts over a period of three months. All parts of the portfolie must be passed in order to pass the course.

    The portfolie will be graded overall.

    The exam result can be appealed

  • Permitted exam materials and equipment

    All aids are allowed as long as the rules for source referencing are followed.

  • Grading scale

    Grade scale A-F.

  • Examiners

    One examiner. The course may be selected for grading by external examiners.
