Prerequisities and co-requisites
Bachelor's level knowledge of Computer science and engineering study programmes.
MANDATORY REQUIREMENTS: 1) Good programming skills in a system programming language are required (C/C++/Rust, any one of these), AND 2) Good knowledge of Computer Systems and Linux Commands.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The course assumes that students already fulfill mandatory requirements. Students (including students from specialization where IoT is the required course) who DO NOT meet any of these requirements SHOULD first finish the 521286A Computer Systems course, or achieve the equivalent knowledge before enrolling in the IoT course (i.e. Master students in such cases should consider taking the IoT course during their second year of studies after fulfilling the mandatory requirements.).
Ideal requirement: In addition to the above-mentioned mandatory requirements, students having prior knowledge of Operating Systems, Database Systems, and Computer Networking (at the Bachelor level) can expect to receive the maximum benefit from the course.
