Device Networks

Catalog description

This course provides an introduction to basic networking theory, protocols and technologies and their use in the internetworking of embedded systems. Various networking interface technologies (wireless and wireline) are studied from a conceptual, hardware, and programmatic perspective; the learning experience is augmented via the design and implementation of practical applications using modern Single Board Computers (SBC) and peripheral devices. The concept of the Internet of Things (IoT) is interwoven throughout the course in order to provide the student with a clear grasp of the evolution of such networked devices and how they can be controlled locally, remotely, and within the “cloud.”
