Incorporation of the Internet of Things within the Introductory Course on Microcontrollers
This paper discusses the restructure of the introductory course on microcontrollers using laboratory experiments which use the framework of the Internet of Things (IoT) to demonstrate the application of microcontrollers at the system and sub-system level. The course can be taught with compact and portable laboratory components thereby facilitating the on-line approach to instruction. This is especially necessary during the health pandemic which continues to disrupt face-to-face laboratory instruction. Specifically, the hands-on laboratory experiments and project-based experiences introduce the students to the collection of data using temperature and motion sensors, software programs for the microcontroller, and wireless communication between WiFi-enabled modules. The students observe and record the outcomes on personal computers and mobile devices. Rather than use the hardware and software tools from established vendors in the areas of IoT, we chose to design and assemble our own laboratory experiments and projects with simple, cost-effective, off-the-shelf components. The project activities focus on system design and integration based on the distinct laboratory experiences. The students are expected to possess basic knowledge of electrical circuits and electronics, programming skills in the higher level languages such as C/C++, and the fundamentals of test and measurement analysis.
