Introduction to IoT
Code: PEC-CSBS701A
Credit: 3

Course Outcome(s):
This course will help students understand basic principles and concepts of Internet-of-Things use cases, applications,
architecture and technologies. Students will get an overview of an end to end IoT system encompassing the edge, cloud
and application tiers. This course will build upon the foundations created in the pre-requisite courses and will equip the
students to architect a complete IoT application on their own. The lab exercises will consist of hands-on experiments that
will lead to building an IoT application end-to-end. Some of the specialized topics will be covered via student seminars
where students are expected to research and present their findings in a seminar format.

Topics to Be Covered:
UNIT – I
Introduction to IoT and Use cases: Understanding basic concepts of IoT, Consumer IoT vs Industrial Internet,
Fundamental building blocks, Use Cases of IoT in various industry domains,
UNIT – II
Architecture: IoT reference architectures, Industrial Internet Reference Architecture, Edge Computing, IoT Gateways,
