Internet Of Things Applications
Explore how everyday devices connect and work together in a smart environment. Students learn to build IoT prototypes and may use this subject to meet ITE's science entry requirement.
Objective
Internet of Things Applications (IOTA) is one of the 5 ITE Skills Subjects (ISS) offered to Secondary 3 and 4 students in Crest Secondary School. When students select this subject as one of the two Skills Subjects to study, they will learn the skills and knowledge to deploy Internet of Things (IoT) technology for a smart home or workplace environment. As Singapore develops towards smart living and a smart nation, taking this subject will allow the students to understand how IoT works and develop students’ interest in post-secondary electronic-based education. Students who obtain a pass in this NT equivalent subject will be considered to have passed a science equivalent subject when applying to ITE courses.
Our department aims to empower Crestans with the skills and knowledge to deploy Internet of Things (IoT) technology for a smart workplace environment. The student will also be to setup basic IoT prototype and deploy simple software applications in an authentic industrial & commercial system. Finally, it will develop students’ interests in a post-secondary electronic-based education.
