The objective for this course is to give the students the opportunity to develop a prototype based on a product idea within Internet of Things. The product idea generally is a further development of a project from one of the IoT prerequisite courses. The course focusses on low-power WAN technologies, IoT backend solutions, but also on the product and business side of a potential IoT product En studerende, der fuldt ud har opfyldt kursets mål, vil kunne:

• Identify the challenges the market has for IoT products (technology push or pull)
• Analyse low power WAN technologies for different product use cases
• Apply design thinking principles
• Synthesize a prototype fulfilling a specific market need
• Perform a market analysis
• Incorporate UX design parameters
• Apply basic electronics principles and circuitry
• Devise software and applications
• Apply 3D design, printing, circuit design, prototype manufacturing principles
• Describe start-up funding opportunities
• Write a technical report and present the prototype at a pitch-style presentation

The focus of the course will be on applying IoT technologies in a specific prototype. The course is based on hands-on project work and prototyping. Topics covered include market research and analysis, design thinking, LP-WAN technologies, basic electronics, 3D printing, Arduino programming, UX design, APP development, start-up funding opportunities, report writing and pitching, guest lectures from industry and other DTU departments. 12. april, 2021
