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:

program sensors and actuators to interact with the surrounding environment.

develop a pipeline for data collection, analysis and visualisation using an IoT supporting framework.

design and prototype IoT applications on an industry standard IoT platform.

evaluate and propose solution to improve performance, scalability and security of IoT applications.
