The Internet of Things (IoT) is revolutionizing industries by enabling unprecedented data collection and analysis. This technology empowers businesses to make informed decisions by leveraging insights from connected devices. IoT applications span various sectors, including healthcare, agriculture, energy, utilities, and smart cities, promising transformative impacts. Nonetheless, implementing IoT systems necessitates a thorough understanding of a diverse array of devices, protocols, and security challenges. Professionals must acquire expertise in embedded systems, sensor networks, and real-time data processing—areas that may be unfamiliar to many IT practitioners. This course addresses these challenges by offering comprehensive foundational knowledge paired with practical experience in the design, development, and implementation of IoT systems. In this program, participants will engage in practical exercises and case studies to explore the lifecycle of IoT projects, from planning and design to deployment and management. The course culminates in an IoT project where participants integrate components such as sensors, web interfaces, messaging protocols, and data encryption to develop a functional IoT solution
