UGR Project
Topic
Wireless Sensor Networks for Internet of Things Applications
- Nice topic to start with, has a lot to dig into
- The goal is to set up a wireless sensor network with multiple Raspberry Pis, and analyze the data they generate
Topics:
- Wireless networks
- Sensor data acquisition
- Hardware side: circuitry, raspberry pi, hardware hacking
- Software side: Linux, networking, wireless, cybersecurity
Expanding the project:
- Project can be expanded to pen testing scenario, RTTY/Packet communication, longer range antennas, etc.
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
