Learning outcomes

Unit Learning Outcomes express learning achievement in terms of what a student should know, understand and be able to do on completion of a unit. These outcomes are aligned with the graduate attributes. The unit learning outcomes and graduate attributes are also the basis of evaluating prior learning.

On completion of this unit, students should be able to:

discuss functionality of the components of an IoT-based information system.

analyse requirements and select suitable IoT architectures, designs and technologies for an IoT application.

design IoT-based information systems for applications in smart home, smart city and smart environment.

examine issues related to ethics, security and privacy issues of IoT-based information systems.
