This subject will first start with introducing the integration of the IoT system from
a technological perspective. It will cover the data communication protocols between
devices and platforms: 1) Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT), which is a machine-to-machine
connectivity protocol; 2) Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT), a standards-based
low power wide area (LPWA) technology developed to enable a wide range of new IoT
devices and services; and 3) RESTful API, an architectural style for an application
program interface (API) that uses HTTP requests to access and use data. In addition,
an enterprise IoT platform Losant, will be introduced to students and allows them
to build real-time connected solutions and user interfaces quickly. Technological
integration is just one side of the IoT integration, while another significant bit
is the business integration. Therefore, the second part of the subject will focus
on teaching students how to propose an idea with both technological advantages and
business opportunities, write a funding application to attract business investors,
and develop prototypes of their new inventions. Overall, this subject is about boosting
students' innovation and business skills and nurturing their commercial aspirations.
