Keysight Technologies U3803A/04A IoT Systems Design Applied Courseware Data SheetIntroduction The Internet of Things (IoT) is the next mega trend that will change the way we live and work, and it is predicted to touch almost every consumer and industrial application. The core technologies that enable the IoT are wireless communication and sensor developments, and ongoing advances in these technologies result in unique challenges. These challenges include new communications standards, increased sensor integrations and power consumption management. This puts a heavy stress on an IoT devices design and validation cycle, and designers must constantly innovate to quickly and successfully develop and deploy IoT devices in the market. The next generation of engineers will play a key role in the development of the IoT, and it is important that students graduate from an undergraduate engineering program prepared for the electronic design, test and measurement challenges needed to be solved in the industry. To fulfill that goal, education institutes must not only teach students the basics of testing and designing an IoT system, they must provide students with an understanding of the entire IoT ecosystem and also relate these experiences to real-world applications. With more than 75 years of test and measurement expertise, Keysight Technologies, Inc. is ready to help you to nurture the next generation of IoT-ready professionals. Keysights ready-to-teach U3800 Series IoT applied courseware focuses on teaching practical design and test techniques and is designed to give students the opportunity to work with industry-grade test and measurement instruments in the lab the same instruments that they would use when they are out in the industry. There are four IoT applied courseware: 1. IoT Fundamentals Introduces the fundamentals of IoT. Students who complete this course will have an overview of the IoTs architecture, technologies and ecosystem. 2. IoT Systems Design Introduces IoT system design techniques, leveraging embedded systems focusing on specific IoT examples. Students will be able to design and develop an IoT system targeting IoT gateway and sensor network. 3. IoT Wireless Communications Allows students to develop typical IoT applications with various types of wireless connectivity. Students will be able to perform quick verification and design validation on these IoT applications. This courseware will be available in Fall 2017. 4. IoT Sensors and Power Management Teaches students how to characterize the power consumption of the IoT devices on-board controller, sensors and wireless modules. Students will understand the principles of power management and will be able to characterize micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) devices. This courseware will be available in Fall 2017. Each courseware comes with a training kit and teaching slides. The training kit consists of a development kit, IoT sensor device, XBee ZigBee kit, lab sheets, and problem-based assignments. Students can also use this kit to develop their own projects once they have completed the course.
