Overordnede kursusmål
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 course focusses on low-power WAN
technologies, IoT backend solutions, but also on the product and
business side of a potential IoT product
Læringsmål
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
Kursusindhold
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, low-power communication technologies,
basic electronics, 3D design, Arduino & microcontroller
programming, UX design, APP design, start-up funding opportunities,
report writing and pitching, guest lectures from industry and other
DTU departments. Students are expected to be knowledgeable of
Arduino or C/C++ programming and wireless communication
technologies to a level taught in 34315, 34338 or 34346. Students
are expected buy their own IoT kit (approx. kr. 300-400.-), but no
expenses for books (the same kit as used in 34315, 34338, 34346).
Being present in class for mandatory exercises and group work is an
integral part of the course. The evaluation will consist of
assignments, giving peer feedback, reports and an oral presentation
to the class on the last day of the course.
