What you will learn

After completing the Introduction to Architecting Smart IoT Devices certification course, learners will be introduced to the fundamentals of the Internet of things along with the techniques used for architecting IoT devices and embedded systems. Learners will explore the theory of Shannon’s principles along with design patterns, model-based design, and COTS. Learners will study system modeling, system lifecycle, code generation, hacking, vulnerability, software failures, and hardware failures. Additionally, learners will learn how to write CHAOS reports and will become experts in electronic time reference and traceability matrix concepts.
