This document provides an overview of the course "Fundamentals of IoT (1716201)". The course aims to provide students with a basic understanding of Internet of Things systems, including smart objects, network architectures, communication protocols, and application protocols. It is a 6 unit/chapter course that will cover topics such as IoT architecture, sensors and actuators, connectivity technologies, use of IP networking, and application protocols like CoAP and MQTT. The intended learning outcomes are for students to understand, implement, apply, analyze, and evaluate various aspects of IoT systems and protocols. References for further reading and a list of required hardware, software, and online resources are also provided.

2. Rationale
 The Internet of Things (IoT) has emerging requirements with different
ways of working.
 Various kinds of things, architecture, protocols and networks are required
to design and develop for new solutions based on IoT.
 It is required to impart basic understanding and implementation of
various requirements of the IoT based systems to the students.
 Optimum choice of things, architecture, protocol, programming
languages, and network are key parameters for a unique IoT system.
