Introduction
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 heavy stress on an IoT device’s 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 engineering program prepared for the
electronic design, test and measurement challenges ahead of them� Educators must not
only teach students the basics of designing and testing an IoT system; they must provide
students with an understanding of the entire IoT ecosystem and relate these experiences
to real-world applications�
With more than 75 years of test and measurement expertise, Keysight Technologies,
Inc� can enable you to nurture the next generation of IoT-ready professionals� Keysight’s
ready-to-teach 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
find in the industry�
Keysight’s IoT applied courseware covers four major topics:
1. IoT Fundamentals – – Introduces the fundamentals of IoT� Students who complete
this course will demonstrate the understanding of IoT’s architecture, technologies,
standards, wireless protocols, applications, and ecosystems�
2. IoT Systems Design – Students will learn how to design, develop, and evaluate an
IoT-enabled embedded system using industry-standard tools�
3. IoT Wireless Communications – Students will learn how to develop typical IoT
applications with various types of wireless connectivity� Students will also learn
how to perform quick verication and design validation on these IoT applications.
4. IoT Sensors and Power Management – Teaches students how to characterize
the power consumption of IoT devices onboard controllers, sensors and wireless
modules� Students will understand the principles of power management and will
be able to characterize micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) devices�
Each courseware comes with a training kit and teaching slides� The training kit consists
of a development kit and sensors, lab sheets, and problem-based assignments� Students
can also use this kit to develop their projects once they have completed the course�
