Course Description<\/strong>
This course will introduce you to the principles, techniques, issues, and technology for constructing, deploying, and decision making with wireless sensor networks applications. Students will learn the fundamental issues in sensing, networking, localization and synchronization, and informatics as related to the unique requirements and constraints of distributed wireless sensor systems. More details are at the course syllabus<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Online Learning and Assessment after March 29, 2020 <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

After March 29, 2020, per university guidelines, the lectures and labs will be conducted through live zoom video telecon during our normal class time via: https:\/\/zoom.us\/j\/3460258911<\/a>. Please install and test zoom before the class. You will be able to ask questions during the class, just like the normal classroom lectures. The course topic scopes will remain the same, and we will compress some contents and use the final exam time for the final project presentation to amend the lost time if necessary. For the lab part, in case you need my intervention, please download and install teamviewer.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

The deadlines of homeworks and projects are extended as it is updated in the course website: https:\/\/sensorweb.engr.uga.edu\/index.php\/csee-4240-wireless-sensor-networks\/<\/a>. The assessment method does not change. The project presentations (including demonstration \u2013 please use recorded video demonstration to save presentation time) will be through the aforementioned zoom video telecon during the normal class hours and final exam time (Mon., May 4 8:00 – 11:00 am if necessary). Note that the spring semester will end as the normal schedule according to the university guideline.<\/span><\/p>\n
