The main focus of this course is introduce and teach students modern embedded program on a PC class board that is the size of postage stamp (Intel Edison hardware). The class will then apply these techniques to two classes of projects: Environmental monitoring or vision applications . based on students choices.
The plan is to have students build physical objects with a bent towards vision and/or environmental monitoring. An example might include a moving robot that is driven by Edison that is voice controlled and for us to illustrate how to connect them to Edison. The class will leverage, online tutorials, videos, and material Intel is putting together for universities.
Intel will loan students Intel Edison boards, cameras, and environmental sensors for the students to complete their projects. After the introduction, students can select a project in either vision or environmental sciences.
Lectures: Will consist of topics from environmental monitoring and science and vision algorithms useful for the group projects. The lecture will also include an introduction to the Intel Edison platform including:
Project Execution: Students will work in small groups to create their projects. Some class time will be provided for students to work with each other and to discuss their projects with the faculty members.
