Course objectivesAcquiring skills in creating and presenting projects of telecommunication and computer networks.
Course contentStudents prepare individual projects of the network structure for assumed enterprises (usually with a few departments). In typical case the prepared project includes a selected components like telephone network, computer network with security solutions, dedicated power supply network and some specific components like alarm signaling network or internal television system (CCTV). The finished project should include analysis of demands, suggestion of solutions, diagrams of network structure and cost calculation (capex and opex). The project can also include other parts, specific for particular application (e.g. analysis of legal aspects of using radio devices). The prepared projects are presented and discussed during classes.

Course objectivesThe course is designed to teach students about the Internet of Things (IoT), which relates to the study of sensors, serial data buses, actuators, cloud computing, MQTT protocol and controllers, IoT applications, system security and examples overview (building automation, transportation, healthcare, industry). After completing the course a student will explain principles of operation of a variety of IoT digital subsystems and will be able to design a simple IoT application.
Course contentLecture: Topics address main concepts behind the Internet of Things (the IoT paradigm, smart objects, convergence of technologies, security, protocols), technologies related to the Internet of Things, single board microcomputer IoT nodes, microcontroller based IoT nodes, sensors and serial interfaces. Laboratory class: Practical exercises in programming and designing IoT systems elements based on microcontrollers, single board microcomputers, FPGA and softcore processors and digital sensors. Project: Can encompass a broad field but should be relevant and related with the Internet of Things type of applications. (eg. microprocessor based control of an exemplary system, scheme, calculations, software, peripheral devices, cloud computing / database, web browser based data presentation and control). Dependant on how many participants of the course, a specialization can be made within the project but an understanding of the full design flow is vital for all participants.
