The Internet of Things (IoT) has been connecting
billions of things or machines electronically for them to exchange many
different types of information with one another. With all the machines
in the world connected, lives will be transformed significantly. Many
technologies are involved in the concept of IoT and are worthwhile
investigating. This course is intended to provide in-depth examinations
of IoT technologies so that students can realize how machines are
connected and how information is captured and exchanged. The
applications of the IoT concept are also covered in the course.
