Systems Design EngineeringÌýstudents will exhibit productÌýdesigns that are themedÌýaround theÌýInternet-of-Things (IOT)Ìýthis week.
15 student groups in a third-yearÌýSystems Design EngineeringÌýcourse will presentÌýand demonstrate variousÌýproduct design prototypes.
TheÌýstudent groups were eachÌýrequired to select from a taxonomyÌýof IOT application areas,Ìýnamely:
- Smart Cities;
- Smart Environment (notÌýwater);
- Smart Water;
- Smart Metering;
- SecurityÌý& Emergencies;

- eHealth;
- Education; Sports; and
- Automotive.
Each group chose one ofÌýthese application areas, definedÌýa problem in this space, andÌýsolicited needs from stakeholders, all to lay theÌýgroundwork for developingÌýinnovative concepts that areÌýprototyped for display at theÌýupcoming exhibit.
DesignÌýprototypes that willÌýbe demonstrated include:
- IOT technology for engagingÌýpublic transit users;
- a solar panel IOT wirelessÌýtool;
- an interactive IOT waterÌýfountain;Ìý
- aÌýsolution for ice onÌýhydro lines;
- aÌýsolution that aims toÌýmonitor police gun use;
- an IOTÌýpackage handlingÌýsolution;
- aÌýchemical sensor forÌýoil drilling;
- IOT sensors for ensuringÌýclean milk production;
- aÌýfarm rodent solution;
- aÌýsafe kitchen solution;
- aÌýsystem for weightlifting injury prevention;
- a wearable UV analysisÌýsystem;
- a wearable student stressÌýcoping system; and
- aÌýsolution for learningÌýautomotive drivers.
The exhibition runs fromÌý12.30 p.m. until 3:30 p.m. onÌýWednesday July 22 in the DC fishbowl.
