Specialty Core Courses
The “IoT Perception Technology” course is the core course of this specialty. This course follows an integrated design concept of “learning through teaching—doing through learning—applying through doing,” emphasizing practicality. The course primarily uses case-based teaching, introducing principles and technologies through specific sensing devices applied in cases, employing a teaching model that combines demonstration, instruction, and practice. Through the problems discovered by students in practice, they analyze and study these issues, self-organizing their knowledge structure, filling in gaps, and achieving practical application of what they have learned.
The “IoT System Development” course is another core course of this specialty. This course uses project-based teaching, introducing specific engineering problems, with the teaching and research platform utilizing the latest dual-core imx6dl embedded microprocessor based on ARM Cortex-A9. It adopts a teaching model that combines instruction, learning, and practice, along with experimental equipment, enabling students to have a clear understanding of the structure of embedded Linux systems and to complete comprehensive program design under the Linux system. Through students’ analysis and research of specific problems, they construct the necessary knowledge, achieving a fusion of learning and application.
Currently, IoT engineering has become a specialty with broad applications, strong comprehensiveness, and high practical content. We are now in the era of IoT, linking information carriers together to make life more convenient, connecting life with technology, and aligning with the times. I believe that IoT will certainly bring you the desired results and the future you wish to have. I welcome everyone to choose the IoT engineering specialty, join this big family, and embark on a perfect journey of your own.
