Overall Educational Objective To learn and design the different aspects of the IoT, including end devices, networks, programming, and security and privacy implications.
Course Description The Internet of Things (IoT) is expanding at a rapid rate, and it is becoming increasingly important for professionals to understand what it is, how it works, and how to harness its power to improve business. This course will enable learners to design IoT-related functions. In the course, we will examine the concept of IoT. We will look at the ‘things’ that make up the Internet of Things, including how those components are connected together, how they communicate, and how they value add to the data generated. 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.
