Introduction to Internet of Things Standford Free Course

The Internet of Things (IoT) is transforming our physical world into a complex and dynamic system of connected devices on an unprecedented scale. Advances in technology are enabling widespread adoption of IoT, from pill-shaped micro-cameras capturing thousands of images within the body, to smart sensors assessing crop conditions on farms, to the increasingly popular smart home devices. But what are the building blocks of IoT? And what underlying technologies drive the IoT revolution?

In this short non-credit course, six Stanford faculty members deliver an overview of exciting and relevant technical areas essential to professionals in the IoT industry. This introductory course provides a taste of what to expect from the courses that are part of the IoT Graduate Certificate program. Academic Director Olav Solgaard introduces the course, guiding you through five modules:

1. Cool Applications
2. Sensors
3. Embedded Systems
4. Networking
5. Circuits

This short course is designed to give an overview of the Internet of Things Graduate Certificate. It closely maps to subject focus areas within the certificate and assists students in understanding these areas. The faculty in this short course also teach graduate courses within the IoT graduate certificate.
