Objective : This course introduces a sustainable way of developing electronics and IT solutions: Various network protocols used for energy control and Internet of things. Embedded Client-Server paradigms and cloud computing web services. Sensors used for measuring energy consumption, environmental data. Embedded system used in relation to control and measuring. Energy harvesting methods and storage and low-power design. “Internet of things”- all devices on a network.

Students will be able to:

1) Know the principles in Life Cycle Assessment of product
2) Describe different network protocols used in energy monitoring and control systems incl. security in the system.
3) Analyze a given system and suggest how to operate it in an optimized energy mode.
4) Use energy-harvesting methods and storage to supply an embedded system.
5) Cloud computing, web services, security in systems
6) Setup and use an Embedded System connected to a network for monitoring physical data as temperature, flow, light, energy uses etc.
7) Select components and solutions with focus on sustainability and energy
8) Design and implement for sustainability
9) Program Microprocessors using relevant programming languages –ex. C and C++.
