The Cybersecurity Assurance & Policy (CAP) Center at Morgan State University hosted two undergraduate engineering students and a high school STEM teacher to conduct IoT security research throughout summer ’21. The goal was for students to develop their team-building and leadership skills while working on an assigned research project and for the teacher to be able to design hands-on activities for high school junior- and senior-level engineering courses.
The students and teacher reviewed academic papers targeting IoT education, learned about Nucleo board components, were introduced to the Arm Pelion IoT Platform, practiced how to write a simple program, designed a conceptual diagram for the Smart Home ecosystem, explored components within the Smart Home, collected and visualized data, and wrote final reports.
Through their projects, the students and teacher developed a comprehensive understanding of networks and gained various engineering skills that can be applied to future projects and integrated into educational curricula.
