Lessons and Hands-on Projects building solutions with

Physical Computing and The Internet of Things

IoT Solutions

IoT solutions are Physical Computing circuits with the additional capability of connecting to servers or other circuits over the Internet, thus allowing for remote access and control. We will start with programming microcontroller development boards (like Arduino), then assembling micro-circuits with sensors, relays, and communication modules (such as Bluetooth), and finally getting the circuits to exchange data over the Internet using WiFi and MQTT.

The final solution you will have built at the end of these learning sessions is shown above. It will have a collection of sensors and controllers that you can monitor and control using the STEMVentor IoT App over the Internet using WiFi and via BLE.

Physical Computing Solutions
Physical Computing refers to solutions built as circuits using microcontrollers and connected sensors, relays, actuators, motors, and displays. They work within a local space and may communicate and exchange data with other circuits within close range.

Build a Smart Home

We will be using the Smart Home as an use case for an IoT solution with sensors that send data and alerts to the IoT app and appliances that you can control with the IoT app.

The STEMVentor IoT App

The IoT App is a mobile app for Android smartphones that can be used to read data from sensors and send control signals to devices. The app connects to MQTT servers over WiFi and to microcontroller boards over BLE. You can use this app to manage sensors and devices on any circuits you build, as long as they can publish and subscribe data to MQTT over WiFi or connect over BLE.

Beyond Technical Knowledge
Academic programs must focus on teaching the basics, which are critical to building a strong knowledge foundation, especially in STEM subjects. There is a lot to cover and often there is not enough time to keep pace with the latest technology and specific industry trends. For graduate students, on the cusp of joining the industry, we offer an industry-grade capstone project. In addition to tech skills, they will also learn design thinking, agile development, and collaboration skills, which are key to a successful career.

Design Thinking

Building good solutions requires more than just an understanding of technology. You need to understand business requirements and design the optimal solution that is user-friendly and performant. Good design skills are required to develop intuitive user interfaces, optimal business process, and well-structured data.

Agile Development

Agile development is a modern approach that is used when developing applications where requirements are evolving. You should be able to start by building a minimum viable product (MVP) that can be demonstrated to your users and then build upon it incrementally allowing users to stay enagaged and give feedback through the process.

Collaboration

Building solutions of the future will require individuals and teams with complementary skills working together. While each one may build a part of the solution, all parts need to integrate to provide the complete solution. This requires good collaboration skills from the design and architecture to implementation.
