Internet of Things Education Outside the Computer Science Lab

Explore an innovative approach to teaching Internet of Things (IoT) to non-computer science students in this 17-minute conference talk from the Linux Foundation. Discover how Alexandru Radovici and Alexandru Vochescu from Politehnica University of Bucharest adapted IoT education for power engineering students with no prior electronics or programming background. Learn about their open-source hardware and software solution that enables students to control 3D printed wind turbines and power plants using Raspberry Pi devices. Gain insights into the challenges of integrating computer science concepts into diverse fields such as civil engineering, fine arts, and architecture. Understand the importance of making IoT education accessible and relatable to students across various disciplines, and explore the potential of tools like Arduino and Raspberry Pi in bridging the knowledge gap. Delve into the concept of a "Live Studio" approach and how it categorizes knowledge to facilitate learning. Uncover the process of building a specialized Power Engineering Lab and the benefits of open-source solutions in IoT education.
