<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The farming and agricultural industry relies on innovative ideas and technological advancements to help increase yields and better allocate resources. Just like the impact of mechanical innovations in late 19th century and the 20th century on agriculture, IoT is a driving force behind increased agricultural production at a lower. IoT leaves the door wide open for engineers looking to bring a smart farming solution and has great potential to impact how individuals live and work by providing a source of innovative decision making. The design of the IoT, which is defined as \u201can internetwork of physical items \u2013 each embedded with sensors \u2013 that are connected to the Internet\u201d, requires the understanding of embedded electronics, software, sensors, network, and data analytics. To prepare our students as forerunners of this future, this course will introduce a wide range of topics in the broad areas of IoT, and provide hands-on experiences via a series of exciting projects.<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/span>\u00a0At the close of the course students will be able to:
\n1. Understand how IoT technologies can be used in agriculture systems and affect an agriculture business;
\n2. Understand the concept of IoT systems and its major architecture and components;
\n3. Know typical IoT agricultural systems, understand the architecture and functionalities;
\n4. Understand how to collect and analyze data with IoT for precision agriculture systems and strategically store and share data for public access;
\n5. Know basic statistical tools that can be used to analyze the data collected in modern agriculture business.
