The exponentially growing Internet of Things (IoT) market presents compelling opportunities for innovators to develop and create meaningful applications affecting everyday life. This shifting IoT paradigm is placing new demands on educational institutions to train students with IoT-relevant skills. Numerous education researchers continue to document the implementation of IoT-based curriculum, pedagogy, and assessment techniques for STEM education. In this paper, we systematically reviewed this literature and identified 60 journal articles and conference papers that have reported implementing IoT curriculum and associated instructional approaches, educational technologies, and assessment strategies for K-12 and university students. The curriculum, pedagogy, and assessment strategies presented in these studies were analyzed in the context of the sensing, networking, services, and interface layers of the IoT technology paradigm. The review identifies best educational practices and synthesizes actionable strategies for educators to implement effective IoT learning experiences for students. These strategies leverage low-cost IoT hardware, open-source IoT software, active learning-based instructional approaches, and direct/indirect assessment methods. As IoT education becomes increasingly pervasive, the review and strategies provided in this paper may serve as a guide for future educational efforts.

“…Internet of Things has been a vital asset when it comes to the rise of Industry 4.0, and the fundamentals of IoT have found importance and differing roles in all fields, be it industrial, domestic, or scientific. Utilising its protocols to maintain a level of security and furthermore, make the communication systems simpler and faster is a common occurrence when it comes to remote devices and vehicles, similar as the Mars rover [6]. Microcontrollers and Wi-Fi modules such as Raspberry Pi and Arduino come in handy when prototypes are built and the vehicular motion is controlled over the internet using GUIs specifically built based on IoT protocols.…”

In this paper, an autonomous Mars Rover is designed using the software SOLIDWORKS and a mechanical model is developed with in-depth simulations to analyse the functions of the vehicle. Furthermore, a graphical user interface is also developed based on the principles of Internet of Things using Node-Red to control and monitor the rover remotely. The red planet, i.e.; Mars, has been the centre of attraction for over 2 decades now, with astrophysicists and engineers working in unison to build devices and launch shuttle programs to understand and learn about the planet and gather more intelligence. This paper proposes the detailed development of a 6-wheeled rover that could explore the terrains of Mars, featuring a stereo vision system that could provide live video coverage and a robotic arm that can facilitate investigation of the surface, in an attempt to contribute to and fulfil the human race’s mission to Mars. It employs multiple onboard sensors that can acquire necessary data pertaining to the environmental conditions and actuators that enable functionality, with the sensors and actuators integrated onto a control system based on microcontrollers and microprocessors such as Arduino and Raspberry Pi. The rover also has a provision of a payload bay in its rear which enables it to carry loads. The SOLIDWORKS tool from Dassault systèmes is used to design and model the rover and carry out static analysis and motion studies. The GUI developed in the further sections allows overall voice control for the user and makes the task of monitoring the rover a much simpler task by eliminating the complexity that rises due to multiple control platforms. Keywords: Mars Rover, Graphical User Interface (GUI), Chassis, Mastcam, Actuators, Internet of Things (IoT), Nitinol, Payload
