About the Course

All about practical programming and creating IoTs applications! In this course, we will talk about two components of a cyber-physical system, namely hardware and operating systems. After completing this course, you will have knowledge of both hardware components and operating systems. You are able to plan and use embedded operating systems in resource-constraint devices for Internet-of-Things (cyber-physical system) applications. In addition, you can use Cooja simulation for designing and simulating wireless sensor network applications. The course offers 4 modules, each with a graded quiz in the end and finally, one peer-reviewed programming assignment. In case you have no experience with C programming, please check a practical course like: https://www.coursera.org/learn/arduino-platform. The course is actually quite fun at the end when you play around with Cooja simulation for IoTs applications. So you can create and simulate your own design for sensor network applications. A lot of features and examples of Contiki and Cooja can be explored via assignments. There are some optional assignments of wireless sensor network applications for students who want to explore more about embedded OS in IoTs applications. - Marco Ramirez /University of Turku - Igor Tcarenko/ University of Turku - Nguyen Gia Tuan /University of Turku Ideate.

Initially it seemed easy and what I already knew... but the week 3 and 4 had alot of new and interesting stuff. It was great eventually... Especially the OS part and some practicals

It is good. Thank you very much for your teaching. This course give the beginner like me a chance to have a broad view over the electronic system.

Thank the teacher and Coursera.

The pronunciation of the professor was terrible.

The last activity wasn't coherent with what the course offered

It is good but the assignments are almost not related with the material. I mean in complexity and content.

The course assessments are very poorly designed. The instructions in the assessments are often unclear and incomplete. No course material (slides etc) provided. Lectures are quite standard and boring sometimes.

All the weeks have very interesting information, but the activities do not have all the information to do, in my case I had a lot of problems with the installation I could not do the activity.

Some course content is good but it gets off track towards the end. Some assignment instructions are not very clear.

The course gives a nice introduction in the subject, if you're completely new to the material. The material is hopelessly outdated. Provided examples are using frameworks which some cases dead for 10 years! Making it no longer practical.

The questions feel from time to time ambiguous and the answers not always helpful. The graded quiz's can only be done once when the required level has been reached. No information is shared on why answers were wrong. So no learning from the mistakes I made.

I had to leave the specialization because it was impossible to complete the assignment in the third week of the first course. The task contains an instruction that does not work (the TinyOS instruction needs to be updated). The discussion forum looks abandoned (no replies to topics for more than six months). Even the first question of the first week contains the wrong answer. The course needs fixes.

Outdated assignment descriptions (from year 2018!!!) where the manual for installation of the required tools does not work anymore, also partly because the tools are not supported by the developer anymore (e.g. TinyOS). The ability to make the assignments and get hands-on practice is the main reason for an online course.

Interesting material in the videos, but the projects can't be completed because the links are not maintained. No one responds to support requests to find missing information from the projects.
