Development of an Internet of Things (IoT) Based Introductory Laboratory for Undergraduate Engineering Students

Internet of Things (IoT) is a fast emerging concept which is going to affect our life style in a big way. There is a need to include IoT in the under graduate engineering curriculum following the global trend for outcome based education. In this paper, details of various stages of development of an introductory laboratory based on IoT are presented. It starts with tackling the challenges and designing laboratory experiments with limited resources available. Project based learning approach is adopted to develop this laboratory through students. The students' feedback on learning experience is also included.
