THIS IS SUBMISSION FOR Alternative Assessment Category AKRI 2022
HackAA has been applied to the following course
In this course, the student will be introduced with Internet of Things and its role in IR4.0. Next, design an embedded IoT gateway and IoT devices. Configure IoT end-to-end systems from IoT devices to the cloud. Create the operations of various I/O devices. Set up wireless local area network (WLAN) 802.11, Bluetooth LE and ZigBee wireless connectivity. Apply industry standard software tools in IoT development. Evaluate I/O signals and troubleshoot IoT systems using industry-grade test and measurement instrument
Real World Challenge
Problem Definition
Proposal
Prototype
Student is given a real world challenge instead of a set question. The challenge could be in a form of a Trigger where student identify the issue that can be address using knowledge on the subject matter. For example, using this image, student can identify the issue that need solving and planned a creative solution using the knowledge they've learned in this course.
Then, students will embark into a brainstorming phase where they carefully identify and define the problem. Tools such as FILA can be use.
*Actual Student's Work
Based on problem definition, a suitable solution can be proposed in line with the context of subject matter. In this case, IoT.
*Actual Student's Work
Proof-of-concept design then can be provided in terms of coding, simulation and even real circuit.
*Actual Student's Work
We asked what the students have to say about this course.
How do you like this course?
"I can do practical works and know the functionalities, connections and specifications of each elements better. Besides, I can learn different data communications between the hardware and software (Favoriot, Thingspeak and Blynk). "

What's your favourite activity ?
"I think all activities in this course is my favourite but the most favourite is PBL activity. This enhanced my skills in hardware and software. It also helps me to figure out how to use DMP ( blynk etc). This will help me alot in FYP2!"
"Individual Assigment 2/ Final Assesment (Hackathon). Best sbb unexpected situation diberikan then we need to think and create with suitable answer to solve the problems."
