Physical Computing and the Internet of Things (CM3040)

This course provides an introduction to the development and programming of hardware devices that can sense and act in the environment. The course will explain and demonstrate how the environment, which is inherently continuous, can be monitored by analogue electrical and mechanical sensors, then captured and analysed using a computer, which is a discrete system. A focus of this course is the interface between the digital and the analogue.

This study encompasses basic physics, electronics, programming and software engineering. The practical objective of this course is the development of the skills needed for designing and building interactive physical devices.
