UGR Project

Overview

Project Topic

Project topic: Wireless Sensor Networks for Internet of Things Applications

Specifics of the project:

• Simplest version: go-box with Raspberry Pi inside, listening to and profiling wireless networks/traffic.
• Complex version: (same as above) plus Pi will "phone home" to C2 server
• Ultimate version: (same as above) plus external sensors: GPS? camera? elevation? etc.

Covers multiple skill sets:

• Wireless networks and how they work
• Sensor data acquisition - wireless data and other location data
• Hardware side: circuitry, raspberry pi, hardware hacking
• Software side: Linux, networking, wireless, cybersecurity

Course Materials

Handouts and written materials

• Like programming class - provide formal information, but show examples in meetings

Milestones and Goals

• Schedule for planning goals and milestones for students
• Each student keeps track of their goals and milestones
• Progress report - short report on the "what have we done so far"
• (don't put off documentation until the end)

Weekly group meetings

• Show them examples of things, explain with a white board
• Computers are going to be an issue... still.

Online format, how to communicate together?

• Slack?
• Possibly a re-usable wiki. This would make it possible to transfer information across quarters. (Need?)

To have students prepared for materials:

• Have a standard plan of what each student will be doing
• Set a weekly date and time for group meetings

Task lists

• Students work through a task list
• What 6-8 tasks do they need to have accomplished so they'll be where they need to be at end of quarter?

Balance

• What is already done, versus what do they actually do?
• Again - use the Raspberry Pi balcony sensor project as a prototype
• They will need to replicate the setup
• What is the setup? The setup is a Raspberry Pi generating sensor data - they need to capture and analyze that data
