In this first class in the specialization you will learn the importance of IoT in society, the current components of typical IoT devices and trends for the future. IoT design considerations, constraints and interfacing between the physical world and your device will also be covered. You will also learn how to make design trade-offs between hardware and software. We'll also cover key components of networking to ensure that students understand how to connect their device to the Internet. Please note that this course does not include discussion forums.

Very good course. I do not like the concept of peer review assignment though because they prevent you from going at your own pace.

Maybe include some way to interact with the lessons? Provide some way of assemble and disassemble components possibly?

Sometimes too easy, but may be good as a start point. Video lessons are long for the amount of the shared information.

Starts very simplistically. Since I was auditing the class, there was no feedback for quizes of exercises.
