1. Objectives of the Course

Embedded systems and Internet of Things (IoT) are integral aspects of modern technology, enabling devices to
sense, communicate, and interact with the environment. This course aims to provide students with a
comprehensive understanding of embedded systems and IoT technologies. Through hands-on learning and
theoretical study, students will gain insights into the design, programming, and applications of these systems. :

 To familiarize the students with the fundamental concepts and architecture of embedded
systems.
 To apply the concept of basic building blocks of Embedded systems and Internet of things (IoT).
 To familiarize students with the concepts, architectural design, communication protocols, and
challenges associated with the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm.
 To enable students to develop practical skills in programming embedded systems and IoT devices using
the Arduino platform, including interfacing with various sensors and actuators.
 To encourage students to explore emerging trends, research problems and innovative solutions.

Total 100%
* There will be two Continuous Evaluations (CE) for a lab in a semester as CE-1 and CE-2, one will be considered as mid term/day to day
evaluation and another one will be based on developed project. Average marks of CE-1 and CE-2 will be taken as final marks. Lab file
record, lab performance in whole semester and internal viva with experiment performance will be taken in consideration of CE-1.

** All STs are compulsory. ST1 and ST2 have weightage of 25% each and ST3 has 50% out of total weightage of component 2.

***It is mandatory to complete Components 1 and 2. Further, as per Academic Guidelines minimum 75% attendance is required to become
eligible for appearing in the End Semester Examination. Page 7 of
