IOT203TC Coursework 1

Date of report submission: 5th April 2026 at 23:59 local time (Week 5).

Completion and originality are the main assessment criteria.

This coursework requires you to integrate multiple sensors into a functional IoT system. You need to design a practical application scenario, justify your component selection, and build a working system prototype to demonstrate your comprehensive understanding of sensor applications, data fusion, and system integration.

Please design a prototype intelligent environment system. This system must be able to sense environmental conditions and respond accordingly. To achieve this, your system must use at least 6 different sensors:

At least 4 sensors must have been used in the lab session.

2 sensors must not have been used in the lab session to encourage independent exploration.

Submission Requirements

Your final report must include the following:

A. Application Scenario and Selection Justification

Scenario Description: Describe your IoT application (e.g., smart home, smart agriculture) in detail, explaining its purpose, users, and operating environment.

Sensor Selection Justification: For each sensor, explain in detail the reasons for its selection. This includes:

System Function: What parameters does this sensor measure? Why is this data crucial to the system's functionality? Technical Basis: Why are the sensor's performance indicators (such as accuracy and range) suitable for your scenario?

B. Experimental Equipment and Procedures

Equipment List: List all hardware (main control board, sensors, wires, etc.) and software (programming environment, library files).

Experimental Procedures:

Hardware Connection: Attach a clear circuit diagram or a photo of the actual device.

Software Implementation: Describe the code logic, including data reading, processing, and decision-making mechanisms.

Functional Demonstration Video: Provide a 3-5 minute video link demonstrating how your system prototype works in real time based on sensor input.

Grading Criteria
1. Solution Innovation (20%)
A. Uniqueness and Practical Value of the Application Scenario (10%): Does the scenario have clear user needs and practical significance (such as specific industrial monitoring, care for special groups, etc.)?

B. Ingenious Functional Design (10%): Beyond fulfilling basic functions, have innovative interactive mechanisms or intelligent feedback been added? Does the combination of the six sensors produce a "1+1>2" effect, or is it merely a simple data listing?

2. Technical Justification (30%)

A. Scientific Basis for Component Selection (15%): Have key parameters (such as accuracy, range, response time, power consumption, interface type I2C/SPI/ADC, etc.) been analyzed in detail for each sensor? Has a comparative analysis been conducted?

That is, why was sensor A chosen over sensor B in the current scenario? (e.g., based on cost, accuracy, or environmental adaptability trade-offs). For sensors not used in class, have their working principles been accurately understood and correctly applied by consulting datasheets?

B. Data Fusion and System Architecture (15%): Are there logical connections between the data from multiple sensors? Have effective data processing algorithms been designed (e.g., complementary filtering, multi-sensor calibration, outlier removal)? Is the system architecture design reasonable? Are the main control board resources (memory, I/O ports, processing power) optimally allocated?

3. System Implementation (30%)
A. Hardware Setup and System Stability (15%): Are the circuit connections standardized and neat, without any haphazard wiring? Did the prototype run stably during the demonstration? Was the integration of the two newly added sensors successful and able to accurately read data?

B. Software Implementation and Code Standards (15%): Does the code structure adopt a modular design? Are key code segments clearly commented? Are variable names standardized? Is there a basic exception handling mechanism (e.g., reconnection or error messages when sensor communication fails), demonstrating the program's robustness?

4. Documentation and Presentation (20%)

Does the report structure conform to academic or engineering standards (abstract, table of contents, main text, conclusion, references)? Are the circuit diagrams and flowcharts clearly drawn, rather than blurry hand-drawn sketches?

Furthermore, if the report does not include a link to a "demonstration video," 40% of the score will be deducted. The "demonstration video" can be considered as follows:

Is the video length controlled within 3-5 minutes, and is the pacing tight? Does it clearly demonstrate the complete closed-loop process of "environmental perception -> data processing -> system response"? Does the explanation allow the audience to quickly understand the system's design highlights and working principles?

Coursework 1 constitutes 50% of the module IOT203TC.
