What is your subject about? A brief overview
This subject provides a broad study of various latest internet technologies and underlying communication technologies used in the Internet of Things (IoT). The main emphasis is to combine technical concepts with a high-level understanding of IoT networks and communication media used in the IoT. The subject provides a comprehensive understanding of the Internet of Things and explores topics such as IoT architecture, IoT communication protocols, security in IoT and IoT applications in the modern world. The subject also examines business use-cases of IoT in real-world environments such as industrial and home automation.
Learning outcomes
On successful completion of this subject, you should:
be able to explain and demonstrate various components of Internet of Things (IoT); be able to analyse the role and importance of IoT in the modern world;
be able to investigate and propose various requirements of IoT for real world applications;
be able to evaluate a variety of existing and developing architecture technologies for IoT; be able to describe and evaluate different applications of the IoT.
Pass Requirements
A student must obtain at least 50% in both the examination and the total mark in order to pass this subject.
To be eligible for the grade AA or AE you must have submitted all assessment items in the subject, including the final exam. If you choose not to complete an assessment item or do not sit the final exam then you will not be granted an AA or an AE grade.
Key Subjects
Passing a key subject is one of the indicators of satisfactory academic progress through your course. You must pass the key subjects in your course at no more than two attempts. The first time you fail a key subject you will be 'at risk' of exclusion; if you fail a second time you will be excluded from the course.
The Academic Progress Policy (https://policy.csu.edu.au/view.current.php?id=00250) sets out the requirements and procedures for satisfactory academic progress, for the exclusion of students who fail to progress satisfactorily and for the termination of enrolment for students who fail to complete in the maximum allowed time.
Assumed knowledge
Academic integrity means acting with honesty, fairness and responsibility, and involves observing and maintaining ethical standards in all aspects of academic work. This subject assumes that you understand what constitutes plagiarism, cheating and collusion. If you are a new student we expect you to complete the modules called Academic Integrity at CSU (https://interact2.csu.edu.au/webapps/blackboard/execute/courseMain?course_id=_16412_1&task=true

Subject Content
This section should not be visible, please see schedule above.
Class/tutorial times and location
If you are enrolled in an internal offering of this subject, your class times can be found at Timetable @ CSU (http://timetable.csu.edu.au). If you are enrolled in the online offering of the subject, this timetable will not apply. Find out how to use Timetable @ CSU via the Student Portal Class Timetable (http://student.csu.edu.au/study/study-essentials/timetable) page.
Learning, teaching and support strategies
All of your subject materials are available on the Interact site under the Topics link in the left hand side menu. I suggest that for each topic you read the learning objectives carefully, read the overview, have a quick skim of the text and then watch the interactive tutorial. Once you have got a feel for what the topic is about try and make a good set of notes under each of the topic review questions in that topic. These questions have been designed to give you focus in the topic, so it really helps to prepare a useful set of answers to them.
It is helpful to have a small task to complete early in the session so that you have a focus in the subject from the very first day. Assignment 3 is a research task, where you will search for material on the internet and write a short fully referenced report. The assignment also ensures that you are able to use the Interact2 site within the first week of session. Please do not ignore this assignment, ( Milestones are found for Assignment 3- Please follow the timeline carefully)
In this subject there are also lots of opportunities for you to engage with me, with your peers and with the subject. I will be holding 12 face to face classes where we can discuss content issues and assessment items. As part of your assessment in this subject, you are required to work alone for all the assessment items.
It is helpful to have a small task to complete early in the session, so that you have a focus in the subject from the very first day, and so I have set a small assessment item in week 3, as part of your assessment. If you don’t complete the assessment, I may contact you by phone or email to have a chat about study and if there are any issues that I can help with.
The study guide and/or subject materials for this subject have been written specifically to guide you through the sections (and questions) of the prescribed textbook relevant to each topic.
You should check the Interact Site at least weekly for postings, announcements, lecture information and other resources that will assist your studies or additional information and resources vital to your success in the subject.
Studying at university does not mean studying alone. Take advantage of collective wisdom and post your questions to the subject forum.
Use the subject schedule to plan your studies over the session.
