The growing collection of cyber-physical systems commonly known as the Internet of Things (IoT) is the future of the internet. This ubiquitous network of physical devices and other embedded systems integrating sensors, actuators and layers of software interconnected through various communication networks offer unparalleled opportunities of growth. From smart fridges, to intelligent surveillance systems to connected vehicles and smart infrastructure, the possibilities of this new technology are unbounded. In this unit, students will gain practical and theoretical understanding of the underlying technologies including Embedded Systems, Microcontrollers and Hardware programming.

This unit will be co-taught with unit 11513 Internet of Things PG.

Submission of assessment items

Extensions & Late submissions

Late submission of the research paper without an approved extension will result in a penalty of 10% reduced marks from the total available, per calendar day late. Research paper submitted over 5 days late will not be accepted.

Special assessment requirements

Normally an aggregate mark of 50% is required to pass the unit.

The final grade for the subject is then determined according to the following table:

 

85 <= Final mark <= 100

Final grade = HD

75 <= Final mark < 85

Final grade = DI

65 <= Final mark < 75

Final grade = CR

50 <= Final mark < 65

Final grade = P

0 <= Final mark < 50

a final grade (NX, NC, or NN)

 

Academic integrity

Students have a responsibility to uphold University standards on ethical scholarship. Good scholarship involves building on the work of others and use of others' work must be acknowledged with proper attribution made. Cheating, plagiarism, and falsification of data are dishonest practices that contravene academic values. Refer to the University's Student Charter for more information.

To enhance understanding of academic integrity, all students are expected to complete the Academic Integrity Module (AIM) at least once during their course of study. You can access this module within UCLearn (Canvas) through the 'Academic Integrity and Avoiding Plagiarism' link in the Study Help site.

Use of Text-Matching Software

The University of Canberra uses text-matching software to help students and staff reduce plagiarism and improve understanding of academic integrity. The software matches submitted text in student assignments against material from various sources: the internet, published books and journals, and previously submitted student texts.
