Semester 1, 2011
ELEC4000/ENGG7300 - Wireless Sensor
Networks
In
semester 1, 2011, ITEE is offering a #2 elective course in Wireless Sensor
Networks under the course codes ELEC4000 (undergrad) and ENGG 7300 (postgrad).
The course is offered by lecturers from CSIRO ICT Centre, who are specialist
researchers in this area. It is a combination of lectures and group project
work. The assessment will be based on the following: lab projects, a final
project demo, a final project presentation, and a final exam. For
undergraduates, the course would normally count as a general elective.
Students can request permission for this course to be counted as a coverage
elective.
Prerequisites
To
be eligible to take this course, student have to demonstrate at least one of
the following:
·
Minimum credit level of 5 on on COMP2303
·
Passing COMP3301/7308, Operating Systems Architecture
·
Special permission from lecturers
The course is most suited to 3rd and
final year undergraduate students, and also postgraduates. Students will
require Head of School permission to enroll in the course, which they can do by
emailing student admin officer Claire Pomery:
Including
your name, student number, the course you wish to enroll in (ELEC4000 or
ENGG7300), your course (eg. BE (Electrical)), and the approximate year of your
progress in the course (3rd year, 4th year, 5th
year, etc). There is a quota of 28 students for the course, with a maximum of
21 undegraduates and 7 graduates. Note that CSIRO lecturers are also willing to
supervise final year projects in this WSN area. It is recommended that
students wishing to take these projects should enroll in this course,
