Group Project Specification
Instructor: Dr. Akram Pasha
Total Marks: 10
Submission: Moodle
Date of Announcement: Saturday, 8th Feb 2025
Objective
The objective of this project is to enable students to apply their understanding of IoT concepts, mechanisms, and technologies by developing a simple IoT-based prototype and demonstrating its real- world application.
This project aligns with the course learning outcomes:
1. Illustrate the characteristics, areas of development, and standardization for IoT.
2. Apply IoT mechanisms and technologies.
3. Describe domain-specific IoT applications.
4. Use Python as a programming language for IoT systems.
5. Examine various IoT real-world applications.
Students will:
Design a basic IoT system using sensors, actuators, and microcontrollers.
Develop a simple Python-based program to collect and process data.
Integrate an IoT communication protocol (MQTT, CoAP, or HTTP).
Use cloud or local storage for data handling.
Present their findings, challenges, and system architecture.
