COVID Safety on Campus To ensure the safety and wellbeing of our University and the broader community, it's important that you allow time to complete the following steps every day you attend campus: Complete the COVID-Safe Return to Campus MyLO module before you attend Go through screening each day when attending campus, check your temperature, swipe your access card and wear the sticky dot provided Maintain COVID-safe behaviours: keep 1.5 metres away from others, wash your hands thoroughly and often, use disinfectant wipes to clean your work station Critically, please stay at home if you are unwell, get tested if you have any symptoms and email us at [email protected] if you are getting tested Together, let's make our campus a safe place to be.

UNIT OVERVIEW Introduction Internet of Things (IoT) is a rising set of technologies that provides access to a large quantity of data through sensors. IoT is enabling users to visualize and monitor aspects of their environments that would otherwise be impossible manually. The ability to connect devices to the internet allows humans to have access to data in real time. Today there are standard web-based technologies that allow users to visualize IoT data on web browsers or apps. The cost of microcontrollers has gone down in recent years and many communication mechanisms have emerged. The aim of this unit is to introduce you to Web Development for IoT and related modern technologies like Blockchain and Digital twins. The objective is to increase your awareness of the role of IoT in our society and its potential that derives from increasing data sharing activities. This unit also seeks to develop critical thinking while considering Internet of Things and, based on practical field components, provide you with the opportunity to deploy your own IoT web applications. You will use several sensors based on a micro-controller platforms create sensor applications that collect data and then integrate them with the internet and cloud-based platforms.

Students will be advised of changes to the outline via their University email account and it remains the responsibility of the student to check their email for such changes.

Safety and Wellbeing The University is committed to providing a safe and secure teaching and learning environment. In addition to specific requirements of this unit you should refer to the University's Safety and Wellbeing website https://www.utas.edu.au/safety-and-wellbeing/home/ and policy. The University recognises that hazard identification, risk assessment and controls are a critical part of everyday work. Prior to commencing any laboratory and/or field activity on or off campus in this unit you are required to: identify hazards - find out what could cause harm assess risks if necessary - understand the nature of the harm that could be caused by the hazard, how serious the harm could be and the likelihood of it happening control risks - implement the most effective control measure that is reasonably practicable in the circumstances review control measures to ensure they are working as planned. A formal Risk Assessment must be completed as part of any project proposal/plan prior to commencing any practical activities. Your supervisor will assist you in identifying potential hazards and assessing risks for your project and will assist you with sign off on any documentation. Use the Risk Assessment template contained within the UTAS Project and Task Risk Management Minimum Standard. A word version of this form is available from the UTAS WHS webpage and in MyLO. Note that risk assessments (RA) are not required for activities that are considered routine and a current Safe Work Procedure (SWP) is already in place to manage the project/task. For additional advice and assistance see the local WHS Contact or Health and Safety Representative (HSR) within your School/Institution, and/or consult with other staff.
