Introduction to the Internet of Things and Embedded Systems

An Introduction to Programming the Internet of Things (IOT),

The explosive growth of the “Internet of Things” is changing our world and the rapid drop in price for typical IoT components is allowing people to innovate new designs and products at home. In this first class in the specialization you will learn the importance of IoT in society, the current components of typical IoT devices and trends for the future. IoT design considerations, constraints and interfacing between the physical world and your device will also be covered. You will also learn how to make design trade-offs between hardware and software. We'll also cover key components of networking to ensure that students understand how to connect their device to the Internet. Please note that this course does not include discussion forums. Upon completing this course, you will be able to: 1. Define the term “Internet of Things” 2. State the technological trends which have led to IoT 3. Describe the impact of IoT on society 4. Define what an embedded system is in terms of its interface 5. Enumerate and describe the components of an embedded system 6. Describe the interactions of embedded systems with the physical world 7. Name the core hardware components most commonly used in IoT devices 8. Describe the interaction between software and hardware in an IoT device 9. Describe the role of an operating system to support software in an IoT device 10. Explain the use of networking and basic networking hardware 11. Describe the structure of the Internet 12. Describe the meaning of a “network protocol” 13. Explain MANETs and their relation to IoT

peer review

I do not like the concept of peer review assignment though because they prevent you from going at your own pace.

Goob information, don't really care for peer reviews.

The peer review sysetm however relies on the experience and knowledge of others which is a flaw in how some of the coursera modules are evaluated.

awesome instructor with great peer reviewed assignments!

Good for starters The peer review is a bad bad idea.

Basic stuff but informative great The peer reviewed assignments in this course are discriminatory towards people with learning disabilities.

It's a decent introductory class, but way too much information is repeated and the wireshark peer reviewed assignment doesn't even work properly and the tutorial is out of date.

give excellent background for IOT systems Its very usefully and good for studies good SUPER COURSE GOOD PLATFORM FOR LEARNERS Instead of peer review, a more sophisticated evaluation scheme can be employed so as to test the true learning of the course bearer.

Thanks :) Too many peer review questions AWESOM Good introduction to IoT and micro controllers Good good lectures.. well explained..

What there is of the course though is excellently presented and explained.The peer review is, as often the case, something of a gamble.

While this is a popular course, so the peer reviews will be completed at least, the resulting grades can look like something from a rng.

high level

Quite high level; I'm looking forward to diving deeper in to the subject int he upcoming courses.

Very high level.

Prof Harris covers at a high level the several moving parts of this topic.

Coolest professor :-) Great high level overview of IoT.

I thought the material was presented at an overly high level and was not particularly useful, particularly in the second half of the course.

General introductory course, provides some high level networking overview.
