IoT and Intelligent Systems in Industry 4.0

This course is divided into 4 main modules, plus a guided reflection and feedback section, designed to develop a deep understanding of IoT (Internet of Things) systems, with a particular focus on industrial applications. 

Each module consists of both presential and autonomous work, encouraging hands-on experience and theoretical understanding. 

About this course: aims & objectives

The objective of this course is to train students in the design, implementation, and management of IoT (Internet of Things) systems, with a focus on industrial applications. By the end of the course, students will have acquired knowledge and skills in embedded device programming, basic electronics, communication protocols, data processing, and energy management. Additionally, they will be able to select appropriate IoT technologies and architectures for specific use cases and deploy practical solutions in real-world scenarios, applying challenge-based learning (CBL) methodologies.|

There are 2 planned editions of this course

• 1^st edition: 13 January 2025 until 10 February 2025; 
• 2^nd edition: 8 September 2025 until 6 October 2025. 

Learning outcomes

Upon successful completion of the course, participants will: 

• Learn more about the architecture of embedded systems and its interfaces.
• Know how the most relevant IoT communication protocols work (Ethernet, LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, WiFi, BLE).
• Understand the different architectures existing in IoT systems and the function of each component.
• Know about processing capabilities in embedded systems.
• Learn how to manage energy-related issues in embedded systems.
