Course OverviewCourse features:

● Time range: June - July 2015● Lessons: 8● Single lesson: 3 hours● When: Fridays 9:30 to 12:30 ● Where: Engineering Campus - University of Messina● University of Messina acknoledges 3 ECTS (European Credit Transfer System Credits)

Description:The course was focused to enter the world of the Internet of Things (IoT) through the use of the Arduino open source platform, which is mainly characterized by its interactive laboratory work and focused on its practical application. It was attended by fifteen participants selected from the third-year graduate students in Electronic Engineering, Computer Engineering and Computer Science, interested in exploring the issues of the IoT and the various development scenarios in the context of smart sensors and smart cities. Moreover, this course was part of the initiative to support the project's crowdfunding #SmartME (http://smartme.unime.it/) to build the future of Messina.

Prerequisites:

● Own laptop computer.● Basic knowledge of C language.

Angelo is a student of Electronic Engineering while Vittorio is a student of Computer Science.

During this summer course, ARDUINO helps us to put them in front of some real problems.

We strongly believe in this kind of CONTAMINATION. This concept represent the final essence of ECS UNIME's VISION for the future.
