Internet of Things Using Arduino in TinkerCad
Department of Information and Communications Technology
Enrollment in this course is by invitation only
Course Overview
The Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming increasingly important. Control and automation in homes and industries require remote monitoring and control via the internet to assure safety. Herein lies the IoT. This course covers the fundamentals of IoT technologies. Students will learn IoT device programming using Arduino, which will be replicated online using TinkerCad. Sensors, microcontrollers, and actuators will be covered. Students will be instructed step-by-step via laboratory activities to create and program Arduino.
What You Will Learn
At the end of this course, you will be able to:
- recognize the fundamentals of IoT, including components, communication protocol, mechanisms, and the basic electronic circuits
- determine how to program Arduino Uno using TinkerCad simulation and connect an Arduino device with a sensor to the Internet
- identify different applications of graph problems in real-world applications
