Overall Educational Objective To learn and design the different aspects of the IoT, including end devices, connectivity, programming, and security and privacy implications, cloud structure and big data analysis.
Course Description This course is about to design IoT-related functions. In the course, we will discuss IoT concepts, and we will examine all the components of an IoT structure, including the ‘things’ that make up the Internet of Things, the connectivity between the things, cloud structure, and the added values. We will also examine cybersecurity and privacy issues, and highlight how IoT can optimize processes and improve efficiencies in your business.
Course Description in Turkish Nesnelerin İnterneti (IoT) hızlı bir şekilde genişliyor ve IoT’nin ne olduğunu, nasıl çalıştığını ve iş geliştirme gücünü nasıl kullanabileceğinin anlaşılması giderek önem kazanıyor. Bu ders, öğrencilerin IoT projeleri dizayn edebilmesini sağlayacaktır. Derste IoT ile ilgili kavramları inceleyeceğiz. Bu bileşenlerin nasıl birbirine bağlandıkları, nasıl iletişim kurdukları ve üretilen verilere katma değerlerinin nasıl olduğu da dahil olmak üzere Nesnelerin İnterneti'ni oluşturan olguları ele alacağız. Ayrıca, siber güvenlik ve gizlilik konularını da inceleyeceğiz ve IoT'nin işletmedeki süreçleri nasıl optimize edebileceğini ve verimliliği artırabileceğini vurgulayacağız.

Course Learning Outcomes and Competences

Upon successful completion of the course, the learner is expected to be able to:
1) identify basic IoT design considerations and generate IoT basic designs;
2) compare different IoT connectivity systems, and design the basic network
3) implement software solutions and Big Data architectures for IoT designs
4) produce a complete and complex IoT prototype concept design
5) present the IoT prototype work in front of the audience
