Course Description

The Internet of Things (IoT) is the network of physical objects or "things" embedded with electronics, software, sensors and connectivity to enable it to achieve greater value and service by exchanging data with the manufacturer, operator and/or other connected devices. Each thing is uniquely identifiable through its embedded computing system but is able to interoperate within the existing Internet infrastructure. This course will prepare students to install, configure and maintain these devices. ADVISORY: CHT A110, CIS A110 or IT A110 and CHT A191, CIS A191 or IT A191. Transfer Credit: CSU.

Instructional Techniques

Lecture and application of ideas: Students will be presented material from several different sources, including, but not limited to study guides, “Web-based” curriculum, in-class demonstrations of systems integration and personal experiences of industry professionals.   Individual and paired exercises: During the lab portion of the class, students will be required to perform many of the tasks of a network administrator. In order to complete several projects, students will need to work together in teams to build working local area networks.   Interactive computer-based assignments: Using computer and “Web-based” training tools, students will be working on simulated networks in order to solve problems.

Reading Assignments

Students will spend a minimum of two hours a week reading the Chapter in the textbook in preparation of classroom discussion.

Writing Assignments

Students will spend a minimum of two hours a week preparing  a project document, given a minimum set of requirements, designing a solution accommodating Internet of Things integration (voice, data, video, security, music and lighting) using a combination of wired and wireless networks, home theatre and entertainment systems and wired and wireless security systems.  After the solution is designed, the student will create a presentation describing the results.

Out-of-class Assignments

Students will spend a minimum of two hours a week researching Internet of Things products and services. Additionally, students spend a minimum of an additional one hour a week taking weekly quizzes  to facilitate the understanding of the material.

Demonstration of Critical Thinking

Reading and writing assignments Web-based research Term or other paper(s) Laboratory reports Problem solving demonstrations Exams Homework problems Skill demonstrations Performance exams Case study presentations Objective examinations, including Multiple-choice True/false Completion

Required Writing, Problem Solving, Skills Demonstration

Given a minimum set of requirements, the student will design a recommended solution accommodating Home Technology Integration (voice, data, video, security, music and lighting) using combination of wired and wireless networks, home theatre and entertainment systems and wired and wireless security systems.  After the solution is designed, the student will create a presentation describing the results.

Eligible Disciplines
