Nominated for the 2020 edX Prize

The explosion of embedded and connected smart devices, systems and technologies in our lives has created an opportunity to connect every ‘thing’ to the internet. The resultant data collection and connectivity has created efficiencies and solutions previously dreamt up only in science fiction stories.

This is disrupting and transforming every industry around the world.

This MicroMasters program will put you at the front of a digital revolution, where you can design problem-solving systems or guide cutting-edge IoT projects in your industry and area of expertise. Professionals from any field who want to leverage their existing business and/or technical knowledge across IoT-related functions in their workplace will learn exactly what IoT is, how it works, and how to harness its power to improve and streamline your business.

The program will show you the scope of the IoT, and reveal underlying principles and architecture of its networks, devices, programming, data, and security. You will learn how an idea can become a viable, workable IoT product and be able to generate your own IoT ideas and design and/or support their development.

Verified learners will be able to participate in regular live discussions with course lecturers, and remotely access real laboratory equipment for practical sessions. In addition, verified learners will be given access to Cisco Network Academy resources.

Curtin is ranked in the top 200 in the world for Electrical and Electronic Engineering, has a 5-star QS rating, and is ranked ERA 5 (the highest possible rating for Excellence in Research in Australia).

Note:

The IoT Capstone Project (IOT6x) is the final course in CurtinX's Internet of Things (IoT) MicroMasters® Program. Learners must have successfully completed IOT1x, IOT2x, IOT3x, IOT4x, and IOT5x to enroll and participate in this capstone course. It is also only available for verified learners. Due to these prerequisites and the intensive nature of this instructor-paced course, the IoT Capstone Project only runs once a calendar year, typically from early April until mid-July. Enrollments close soon after the course starts.

What's inside

Six courses

Introduction to the Internet of Things (IoT)

(15 hours)
The Internet of Things (IoT) is rapidly expanding, and professionals need to understand its potential. This course will introduce learners to IoT, including its components, communication methods, and value-added data generation. Cybersecurity and privacy issues will also be covered, along with how IoT can optimize business processes and improve efficiency.

IoT Sensors and Devices

(25 hours)
The Internet of Things (IoT) is rapidly expanding, making it crucial for professionals to understand its concepts and applications. This course explores the devices that connect the digital and physical worlds, including sensors, actuators, and intermediary devices. We will delve into electronics and systems that underpin IoT functionality and design.

IoT Networks and Protocols

(25 hours)
The Internet of Things (IoT) is rapidly expanding, and understanding its components and connections is crucial for professionals. This course explores IoT networks, data networks, connection types, layer models, and IoT protocols and standards. Students will learn to evaluate infrastructure components and network systems, and design basic networks for their IoT ideas.

IoT Programming and Big Data

(25 hours)
The Internet of Things creates vast amounts of data, requiring unique programming and statistical approaches for distributed data sources. This course introduces programming concepts for connecting to and implementing functionality on IoT devices using Python. Students will also learn to process text log files generated by IoT sensors and other network-connected systems.

Cybersecurity and Privacy in the IoT

(25 hours)
As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues to grow, so will the number of privacy and security concerns. This course explores the organizational risks posed by IoT networks, the principles of IoT device vulnerabilities, and software and hardware IoT Applications for industry. With billions of devices tracking our every move, privacy is a critical issue. We will explore and discuss the social and commercial implications the IoT brings to society.

IoT Capstone Project

(84 hours)
This capstone course will help you bring together everything you’ve learned in the IoT MicroMasters program. You will fully engage in the process of designing your own IoT solution.

Learning objectives

  • Generate iot concepts and design iot solutions within your area of expertise.
  • Map out the process for an iot solution, and identify the sensors and other devices required.
  • Evaluate different infrastructure components and network systems, and design the basic network for your iot ideas.
  • Apply software solutions for different systems and big data to your concept designs, and appreciate how data is managed in the network.
  • Identify and analyse iot security and privacy risks, and concept design secure hardware and software.
  • Produce a viable iot concept design that solves a problem, is ready to prototype and test, and has an identified route to market.
