The Internet of Things helps bridge the physical and digital worlds and the ability to collect real-time data from the environment. Attributes such as temperature, humidity, light, position and movement of objects can easily be captured and transmitted over the Internet to centralized databases. Students learn how to connect, program, and build projects that leverage the Internet of Things technologies to remotely monitor objects, as well as build web-enabled “Smart” appliances that can be remotely controlled over the Internet.
