“…The evaluation of the projects is based on the five requirements: sensors and actuators, embedded computing, communication and networking, cloud computing, and analytics, in a similar way as proposed by Dickerson. 9 The details are shown in Table 2. The requirements range from unsatisfactory (grade D) to excellent (grade A).…”

“…The importance of teaching IoT for electrical engineering (EE), computer engineering (EC) and computer science (CC) courses is explored in different works in the literature. 9–20 However, since IoT is impacting many different industries and organizations, it is important that students from other courses have the knowledge of the basic principles and especially, the possibilities that IoT may offer to different fields of engineering courses. In this paper, the IoT course offered to engineering students in the Unified Engineering discipline is presented.…”

“…In this work, the IoT is explored in a global approach, giving to the students different skills on the subject. 9–20 This paper proposes a cooperative project-based learning to teach some technical skills in IoT, as well as to develop some soft skills. The approach is based on an interdisciplinary team project in the IoT domain, in which students develop a project using different aspects of IoT: sensing and actuation, communication, electronics, computing, cloud, and analytics.…”

Internet of things is emerging in the recent years and is changing many traditional industries in the recent years. Engineering students of several knowledge areas may benefit with the introduction of internet of things concepts in the undergraduate courses, since there is an increasingly need of professionals to work in multidisciplinary teams. This paper proposes an undergraduate course to teach internet of things concepts for engineering students using cooperative problem-based learning (CPBL). The students have to develop a project using different internet of things technologies: sensing and actuation, embedded computing, communication and networking, cloud computing, and data analytics. The proposed course may help students to improve not only their technical skills but also soft skills, such as teamwork, communication and creativity. The developed projects achieved good results, and positive feedback was received from the students. Students from engineering courses related to internet of things had a better performance than students of no internet of things-related courses.

“…In other words, both teachers and students contribute to the building of knowledge which boosts the learners' self-esteem. Smart learning environments based on the IoT which allows various physical things (smartphone, smart student card, tablets, smart board, and digital textbooks) to connect with other mobile things can drastically change our traditional schools, and create free interaction between learners and objects [16]. In addition, smart learning goes beyond the traditional schools, students have access to unlimited digital resources from everywhere.…”

Nowadays, the world has known great changes which accelerated the mode of life. Students, on their part have become to expect a stimulating and simple learning experience which takes into consideration this quick pace and helps them solve the stereotypical problems of learning. The analyses conducted in this paper revealed that the recording of attendance in classrooms is done at the expense of the teaching- learning time. Therefore, the article at hand seeks to investigate an effective means to record attendance in a way which doesn’t hinder learning. Differently put, the educational and administrative staffs need to find an effective way to record students’ attendance at presential at the beginning of each learning session without affecting the time allotted to teaching and learning. This article presents and discusses the smart attendance monitoring system in smart classroom as a means to reduce the dropout rate, using connected objects and RFID technology. This system can facilitate the recording of students’ attendance via the Internet of things (IoT) at presential while transmitting attendance record to the administration. At the same time, parents can keep track of their children's attendance to classes through a notification they receive via Email or SMS. In addition, the system automatically sends missed lessons to absent students.

“…A few graduate courses exist, such as described in [12], but we believe this topic needs to be more broadly accessible to undergraduates. [13] describes a course that introduces students to embedded systems, sensors, networks, and cloud computing, but does not appear to tackle system-level concepts such as analytics and security, both critical to modern IoT systems.…”
