Course content

Based on the project carried out in IELS1001 Engineering project - Introduction to ESI, students get to brush up on increased complexity on all levels in this subject. It applies to the basic technology and development methodology for electronic system design, to sensors and actuators with associated electronic circuits, to the understanding and application of the microcontroller's instruction architecture and peripheral devices, and to the connectivity and interaction between the IoT node level and the layers above in the IoT system.

This is directly supported by the themes in parallel and previous courses.

Some keywords: Microcontroller architecture with an emphasis on effective C programming (from Arduino C to pure C), interface issues, development methodology, peripheral devices. Simple IoT Overview, Smart City Applications. Electronic circuits (beyond the first semester course ADE), Simple signal processing. Project management/organisation, status meetings, time consumption.

Learning outcome

Knowledge

The candidate must understand

  • how the subject matter that he/she learns in the parallel subjects can be translated into solutions to the challenges that he/she faces in the project

Skills

The candidate must be able to

  • design and implement IoT-node-centered solutions of increased complexity in all stages and in the integration towards the layers above in the system, compared to the challenges in Engineering Project - Introduction to EIS
  • organize and manage the project efficiently and systematically, with incorporated and good routines for status reporting, estimation of time use, documentation.

General competence

The candidate must

  • increasingly be able to work methodically and structured in all phases of a project from idea to working prototype

Learning methods and activities

Project work in groups. Dialogue-based forms of learning in combination with lectures. Guest lectures and excursions. Some assignments with submissions

Compulsory assignments

  • Mandatory attendance
  • Assignments

Further on evaluation

The assessment in the subject takes place on the basis of submitted project reports. The number of reports and deadlines are given at the start of the semester. All the elements in the portfolio must be passed for a passing final result. It is compulsory to attend the course and some compulsory assignments. Number of assignments and deadlines are given at the start of the semester.
