Learner goals and capabilities

This project will occur in the student's third semester of study. They will be tasked with prototyping IoT hardware, writing python code, and securing the device. The device will need to collect data and store it in an online database. The data captured should be targeted towards solving a problem. The students will be asked to research your request and propose their solution. They will then build, code, prototype, and secure their device. The final stage of the project will be the data collection phase, where the students will collect data that can be used for analysis. During the data collection phase, revisions may be considered if the data types being collected need to be adjusted.

Expected outcomes and deliverables

The students will produce a working prototype as well as documentation for review. The collected data will also be made available to you. There is an additional opportunity for the project to be continued by other Saskatchewan Polytechnic programs to analyze the data further.

We hope the students will have the ability to relay any concerns or questions to you or a dedicated communications person. This is not a mandatory requirement but is considered ideal.

The focus of the project will be for the student to design an Internet of Things solution to a real-world need. We are asking for the need to be defined, and the students should be tasked with researching a possible solution. The students will build, code, secure, and fabricate a prototype. The device will collect data and relay it to an online database for review. We expect them to submit a professional report, technical documentation, and prepare a visual presentation on their project.

Project Examples

Requirements

The Telecommunications Networking Technician program is an intensive 45-week certificate program offered full-time at Saskatchewan Polytechnic Regina Campus. It provides practical and analytical training in electronic and IP-based communications, basic computer networking, and Internet of Things solutions. The program emphasizes practical, hands-on training to solve real industry-related problems.

Over three semesters, the students safely install, maintain, troubleshoot, and repair a wide range of communications equipment and computer-network cabling. They learn about various types of transport mediums and protocols that are relevant to current state-of-the-art technologies such as fiber optics, wireless communications, and Internet of Things devices. They design an Internet of Things solution to a real-world problem.

This will be the third year we have run this project. In the past, the students have worked on projects that capture foot traffic, automate manual temperature readings, and have optimized food safety records to save local restaurants time and money. Some examples of student projects are:

  • Automated food storage temperature readings and logs.
  • Customer foot traffic reports.
  • Logged food safety information to be used by health inspectors.
  • Traffic monitoring and car counting
  • Water quality logging
  • Posture tracking to prevent back pain
