IoT Prototyping

• Identify the challenges the market has for IoT products (technology push or pull)
• Analyse low power WAN technologies for different product use cases
• Apply design thinking principles
• Synthesize a prototype fulfilling a specific market need
• Perform a market analysis
• Incorporate UX design parameters
• Apply basic electronics principles and circuitry
• Devise software and applications
• Apply 3D design, printing, circuit design, prototype manufacturing principles
• Describe start-up funding opportunities
• Write a technical report and present the prototype at a pitch-style presentation

The focus of the course will be on applying IoT technologies in a specific prototype. The course is based on hands-on project work and prototyping. Topics covered include market research and analysis, design thinking, low-power communication technologies, basic electronics, 3D design, Arduino & microcontroller programming, UX design, APP design, start-up funding opportunities, report writing and pitching, guest lectures from industry and other DTU departments. Students are expected to be knowledgeable of Arduino or C/C++ programming and wireless communication technologies to a level taught in 34315, 34338 or 34346. Students are expected buy their own IoT kit (approx. kr. 300-400.-), but no expenses for books (the same kit as used in 34315, 34338, 34346). Being present in class for mandatory exercises and group work is an integral part of the course. The evaluation will consist of assignments, giving peer feedback, reports and an oral presentation to the class on the last day of the course.
