Course Catalog Description
Hands-on engineering design experience for creating cyber-physical systems, or more colloquially, "internet-of-things (IoT) systems" for smart cities. Projects overlay a software layer onto physical infrastructure to produce one integrated system. Student teams will identify a challenge with current urban systems, e.g. mobility, energy & environment, water, waste, health, security, and the built environment. Student teams design and prototype an innovation that addresses this challenge using maker resources, e.g. 3D printing, laser cutters, and open-source electronics. The project will be executing via the "Design Sprint" process, which is popular in agile development and Silicon Valley. Students present projects to industry judges.
