Module: IoT Design Methodologies (M1)
| Study level | Master | |
| ECTS credits | 3 | |
| Study forms | Hybrid or fully online | |
| Module aims | To develop students' knowledge of methodologies for designing IoT systems. To offer practical experience in designing and modelling an IoT system. | |
| Pre-requirements | Has some understanding of IoT (passed module "Introduction to IoT") | |
| Learning outcomes | After completing this module, the student: - has an overview of existing design methodologies - understands the IoT system design concepts - understands the SysML concept and uses it to model the IoT system - understands the system thinking concepts and tools |
|
| Topics | Introduction to IoT design methodologies IoT system design principles IoT System design goals IoT System design challenges System thinking and IoT design methodology System modeling |
|
| Type of assessment | Prerequisite of a positive grade is a positive evaluation of module topics and presentation of practical work results with required documentation | |
| Blended learning | The practical work is conducted collaboratively. The IoT system is designed using the SysML modelling technique, encompassing the following components: a requirements diagram; a block definition diagram (depicting system architecture); an internal block diagram (detailing information flow and component interactions); a use case diagram; an activity diagram (illustrating system behaviour); and requirement validation. Based on the system's description, students construct a mock-up IoT system. Upon completion, students present and report on the designed IoT system, demonstrating its functionality. Additionally, students are expected to employ systems thinking concepts and tools, such as causal loop diagrams, stocks and flows, etc., to design IoT systems. Along with MOOC courses in hybrid mode. | |
