Students developed digital solutions for elderly residents, especially for those living alone in rental flats, on how they can get access to help with ad-hoc tasks such as fixing electrical appliances, moving furniture, buying groceries etc.
Students developed a chatbot prototype for the SMU-X department, to reduce the number of queries they received from students and the community. They also developed a digital prototype for the makerspace that help track item removals, and facilitate the borrowing (and returning) of makerspace equipment.
Students developed solutions and prototyped for a digital payment system that can be made accessible to groups which do not have access to smartphones and/or internet connection.
Upon completion of the course, students will:
- Individually, or in pairs, be able to put together key components of IoT towards building a prototype solution to solve a specific problem A. These hands-on exercises will also help the students in building the IoT prototype for their team project, and train them to be effective IoT solutions architects.
- As a team, given a case scenario B, be able to apply concepts learnt in class to clearly specify the problem statement, describe the IoT solution, and present the actionable wisdom to various key stakeholders. Through short quizzes, this will help the students prepare for the in-class written assignment, and will train them to be effective IoT solutions consultants.
