The learning methodology will combine: master classes, activities in tutored sessions, project based-learning and use cases, debates and other collaborative activities; and laboratory sessions.

There are three ways to choose a project:

• By agreement among the group members. In the initial phases, a brainstorming session with the professors will be encouraged, from which students must choose the one they find most viable.
• Choosing from challenge proposals offered by the professors.
• Choosing from challenge proposals proposed by external entities. Currently, we have proposals from the Molins de Rei Town Council, channeled through the UAB Research Park (PRUAB). To participate in these proposals, in addition to the course activities, it will be necessary to complete 6-8 hours of entrepreneurship training at the PRUAB and present the work at the Molins Town Council in a public event on December 11, 2026. In return, students will receive 3 elective credits and can win a prize.

Attendance will be mandatory for the Design of the IoT project and Laboratory sessions, which will be organized on the same multidisciplinary groups of 2 or 3 people from the different degrees that take the subject.

The laboratory sessions will use a supervised format (not guided) to offer greater autonomy to students and a more personalized support.

Any lack of attendance must be communicated in advance to the teacher in charge, attaching the corresponding reasonable justified reasons.

This course will use UAB's virtual campus at https://cv.uab.cat.

The use of AI is allowed in this course and it is recommended to validate its result before submitting any report since it can make serious errors that may imply negative evaluations. Students will have to report which AI tools did they use and were.

Annotation: within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

This course does not provide for the single assessment system (No exam).

The evaluation of the course will follow the rules of the continuous evaluation and the final grade for the course, is calculated in the following way:

• A - 20% from the mark obtained by the student through the evaluation of activities (i.e. exercises). When an evaluation activity is scheduled, the evaluation indicators will be reported and its weight in this qualification.
• B - 40% from the mark obtained through the evaluation of the IoT design project.
• C - 40% from the mark obtained by the student of the laboratory work and reports. It is necessary to exceed 5 (out of 10) in this item to pass the subject.

All activities will require delivering report through the virtual campus.

• Type A individual activities will be proposed along the course for groups of lectures.
• Type B gruop activities, will require delivering partial reports of a global IoT project document every 2 weeks.
• Type C gruop activities, will require delivering two partial reports (one by mid semester and a 2nd one at the end).

To obtain MH it will be necessary that the students have an overall qualification higher than 9 with the limitations of the UAB (1MH/20students). As a reference criterion, they will be assigned in descending order.

A final weighted average mark not lower than 50% is sufficient to pass the course, provided that a score over one third of the range is attained in every one of the Marks for items B and C. If not reached, the mark will be 4.0.

Plagiarism will not be tolerated. All students involved in a plagiarism activity will be failed automatically. A final mark no higher than 30% will be assigned.

Open source code or available libraries can be used but they must be referred in the corresponding reports.

An student not having achieved a sufficient final weighted average mark, may opt to apply for remedial activities (individual workor additional synthesis examination) the subject under the following conditions:

• the student must have participated in the laboratory activities and design project, and
• the student must have a final weighted average higher than 30%, and
• the student must not have failed any activity due to plagiarism.

The student will receive a grade of "Not Evaluable" if:

• the student has not been able to be evaluated in the laboratory activities due to not attendance or not deliver the corresponding reports without justified cause.
• the student has not carried out a minimum of 50% of the activities proposed.
• the student has not done the design project.

For each assessment activity, the student or the group will be given the corresponding comments. Students can make complaints about the grade of the activity, which will be evaluated by the teaching staff responsible for the subject.

Students have the right to request the rescheduling of evaluation activities exclusively in cases of serious illness, a justified exceptional situation, or when the affected activity accounts for more than 20% of the final grade (or is mandatory to pass the course). To exercise this right, a request must be submitted to the corresponding academic management office (gestió acadèmica).

Repeating students will be able to “save” their grade in laboratory activity.

Note: Given that this subject belongs to a non-linguistic degree, enrolled students have the right to request an additional academic recognition of 1.5 ECTS credits once they have passed the subject. These credits will be added to the transcript as an elective subject (with a grade of "Pass"), always respecting the UAB's maximum regulatory limit of 12 total credits for language proficiency (6 credits in the case of double degree students).
