Coursework Brief

Rationale: Every individual should analyse and design a suitable solution using any IoT development board like raspberry pi/ Arduino/ ESP32/ ESP8266, etc and different services/ sensors. Note: You can plan and choose any IOT board any sensors. This assignment will assess module learning outcomes 2, 3 and 4.

Expectations: The report should demonstrate understanding of industry-based challenges given below. The awareness of various types of solutions should be shown and recommendations for potential solutions should be based on justified arguments. You should demonstrate how theories can be applied. The robustness and correctness of the system should be tested, and performance should be evaluated with known and innovative technological solutions. You should reflect upon measures/steps taken to incorporate ethical, accessibility and usability standards in the developed system and the resultant implications.

Deliverables: Your assignment only consists of one task. It should be submitted as a word document (2500 words in total including all diagrams, documentation, and description) via Turnitin on Moodle and must include all the required components related to the proposed design.

An IoT system needs to be developed along with a comprehensive report for the assignment based upon a realistic scenario.

Individual Assessment – 40%

Suggested requirements for the assignment: Raspberry pi/ Arduino/ ESP32/ ESP8266. You can also develop and test the whole system in simulation software like Tinkercad, programme language, connectivity network, output devices (i.e. LED/ MQTT Lens, I2C or SPI LCD or even Serial Monitor).

Assignment support:  

Although you all will be guided throughout the module by your lecturer, you can get extra support for your assignment, just make an appointment with the ACE team for any language, research and study skills issues and/or talk, email the Computing ACE expert for any advice on how to approach your assignment. REMEMBER: they are not here to give you the answers!

Feedback: Formative feedback will be provided in workshop sessions and during the Assignment Clinic week.

Word count Don’t exceed the word count You need to state the word count at the end of their assignment. 10% over the stated word count is permitted without penalty. If students go beyond this, then there is a penalty of 5 marks for every additional 10% beyond the word count with a maximum of a 15 mark penalty reduction. There is no specific penalty for submitting a piece which is below the word count, but please note that shorter submissions are likely to attract poorer grades, particularly where they lack the necessary depth of analysis. How do you calculate the word count? The word count includes the Abstract or Executive Summary and all in-text citations. The word count does not include the Bibliography and Appendices. Please note that Appendices should only include supplementary information, not information critical to your work.

The Scenario – IoE

You need to build a complete IoT system that can have real life application related to home, healthcare, transportation, and community, etc. For example, one can create a system that can measure and monitor humidity & temperature of home, measuring distance between the two objects, creating a Burglar alarm or any other security system.

For this development, you need to develop a system using at least 2 esp32/ Arduino/ raspberry pi, 1 sensor device (any active or passive sensor) and 1 output device (Serial monitor/ LCD/ LED/ MQTT lens). The solution could use any type of output devices (i.e. LED/ MQTT Lens, I2C or SPI LCD or even Serial Monitor).

Solution could use any type of input devices (i.e. Passive Infrared sensor, Ultrasonic sound sensor or DHT sensor).
You can use any development IDE (Integrated development environment) and any programming language (Arduino C or Python, etc) of your choice.

Specific Deliverables: The lab report should include the following:

Provide the explanations of the chosen system covering its functionalities.
Description of the solution (what IoT system has been implemented? What does it do? What sensors and output devices have been used?)
Provide the whole architectural design of the chosen IoT system.
Provide the explanations and working of all protocols used in your designed system.
Provide the whole programming codes used in the whole system.
Provide the snapshots demonstrating the testing and working of the system.
End the report with a section containing discussion on the issues and application areas of the system including an understanding of the commercial context and privacy/security issues.

Assignment Preparation Guidelines

All components of the assignment (text, diagrams. code etc.) must be submitted in ….one-word file (hand-written text or hand drawn diagrams are not acceptable), any other accompanied materials such as simulation file, code, etc. should be attached in appendices.
Standard and commonly used fonts such as Arial or Calibri should be used, font size must be within the range of 10 to 15 points including the headings, body text and any texts within diagrams,
Spacing should not be less than 1.5
Pay attention to the Assessment criteria / Marking scheme, the work is to be concise and technical. Try to analyse, compare and evaluate rather than simply describe.
All figures, screenshots, graphs and tables must be numbered and labelled.
The assignment should be logically structured, the core of the report may start by defining the problem / requirements, followed by the proposed solution including a detailed discussion, analysis and evaluation, leading to implementation and testing stage, finally a conclusion and/or personal reflection on learning.
Screenshots without description / discussion does not constitute understanding and maybe assumed irrelevant.

Plagiarism and Collusion

Academic Integrity is a matter that is taken very seriously at the university and student should endeavour to enforce it to all their assignments. In other words, plagiarism, collusion (working and copying from another student) and ghost writing will not be tolerated and will result in sanctions eg: capped resit, suspension and/or withdrawal. Correct referencing demonstrates your academic and professional skill. It also reflects your academic honesty and thus to some degree protects you from cases of plagiarism.
You must write your assignment in your own words to demonstrate your understanding of the subject.
Material from external sources must be properly referenced and cited within the text using the Harvard referencing system,
You are required to follow the Roehampton Harvard referencing System. Please refer to Moodle for the latest version of the Roehampton Harvard referencing System or ask the library.
An accompanying list of references (on a separate page and in alphabetical order) must also be provided as part of your work.
Plagiarism: occurs when you present somebody else’s work as your own, whether that work is an idea, graphs, figure, illustration or a pure text. Be it available in web, textbooks, reports or otherwise.
Wholesale use of text and diagrams from websites is considered as plagiarism when not acknowledged.
Plagiarism will be dealt with firmly and can lead to serious consequences and disciplinary procedures.
Collusion: occurs when copying another student’s report (Text, Figures, Illustration etc..) and submitting it as your own.

Submission and Late submission

Students must ensure that their work is satisfactory and fit for purpose, both academically and free from any plagiarism.
Students must use an appropriate coversheet, which must include the subject, assignment title, student ID and date-time.
Tutors, lecturers and module convenors do not have the authority to extend the submission deadlines nor the exam time/date. In case of any mitigating circumstances, students should fill in the relevant mitigating circumstances form(s) available at —— Student Services —–
The marking of the assignment will be capped at 40 if the assignment is submitted within first seven (7) days after the deadline, any submission late than 7 days will be ignored.
The Submission File should be appropriate to the topic/title of the assignment and contain the Student ID, (Student ID-Assignment title)
All coursework related material must be attached as an appendix in the final coursework/assignment document, including any computer-generated document, software/ code, simulation file etc..
