Course content
The course provides a comprehensive introduction to wireless communication between sensors and servers for instrumentation and the internet of things. This involves basic principles in networks and communication, the most relevant protocols and technologies, and programming of the endpoints.
Learning outcome
A. Knowledge:
- Concepts and principles of OSI and TCP/IP layers
- Wireless communication technologies
- IP architectures, switching, and routing principles used in data networks
- The main protocols relevant to instrumentation and the internet of things
- Basic security aspects related to communication
- Programming interfaces in various languages.
B. Skills:
- Choose the right technology and protocols for communication within instrumentation, depending on the specific system, application, and context.
- Design, develop, and program communication solutions for instrumentation.
- Evaluating the tradeoff between security risks and functionality of wireless solutions
C. General Competence:
- Apply basic communication and network principles in a societal context in a responsible and secure manner.
- Collaborate on the development of data networks, both independently and in groups.
Learning methods and activities
The course uses team-based learning. Throughout the semester, students receive feedback on how well they are prepared through multiple-choice tests (RATs, English: Readiness Assurance Tests), which are conducted during lecture time. Each test introduces students to new concepts. Lecture time is then used to delve deeper into the concepts, through lectures and exercises and activities in the classroom, both individually, in teams, and in plenary. Laboratory activities give students the opportunity to apply knowledge and gain practical experience.
Compulsory assignments
- Submission of the mutiple-choice tests (RATs)
- Attendance to the lab sessions
Further on evaluation
The compulsory activities must be approved to qualify for the final exam.
The exam is given and must be answered in English only.
If there is a re-sit examination, the examination form may be changed from written to oral exam.
Specific conditions
Admission to a programme of study is required:
