A Case Study of Project-based Learning on Internet of Things Course

Published:05 October 2021Publication History

ABSTRACT

Internet of Things presents a great opportunity for human life in many applications. Many educational institutions provide various lessons and courses to improve students’ performances and skills. An enrollment of IoT course is simple and easy for students who have technical skills such as basic programming, computer and network components, and electric circuits. The students can learn and develop a solution of IoT applications. However, we have faced a problem of dealing with students who have the different technical skills in the same class. By designing a new course structure plan from a strong basic to a beginning intermediate knowledge of IoT in a variety of sensors and devices, our students enable to learn IoT lessons with a learning by doing techniques. Both technical skills and nontechnical skills students can study and share information as well as knowledge simultaneously. At the end of the semester, all students can design and develop the IoT project applications themselves. Project-based learning can be practiced improving in this experimental research. This research has shown the significant IoT course planning of a project-based learning and proved the successes ratio of master students gradated with IoT competent skills inside 2 semesters.
