IoT Laboratories Based on Reconfigurable Platform with Analog Coprocessor

New challenges and opportunities have arisen in the field of engineering education and research with the advent of Internet of Things (IoT). Due to the fast technological progress in the use of IoT, a need has been identified for engineering students to learn IoT concepts easily, with focus on hands-on activity [1]. Using a reconfigurable platform in studying IoT concepts offers advantages regarding scalability, adaptability, costs, small size, power consumption and above all, having the possibility to host various applications. The motivation behind this paper emerged from the increasing importance of IoT in various sectors and the need to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application. The main goal of this paper is to present a comprehensive perspective of IoT laboratories using reconfigurable platform with PSoC Analog Coprocessor, highlighting their design and implementation and their potential in enhancing the hands-on learning experiences for students. The reconfigurability nature of the platform is explored, highlighting its customizability to meet the educational needs. Illustrating the implementation IoT laboratories based on reconfigurable platform with Analog Coprocessor in engineering education, showcasing the enhanced learning outcomes and engaging experience by students and improvement of their understanding of IoT concepts.
