本科学位课程已逐渐发展到包括研究类项目在本科生的毕业设计课程里，同时企业越来越需要具有先进技术和研究技能的毕业生。文章详细介绍了一个由2位导师、4位本科生和1位研究生组成的团队，在肯尼索州立大学（KSU）最后一年的毕业设计课程中，设计和实现一个基于物联网（IoT）的概念证明的研究项目的成功经验。物联网涉及连接物理对象或现象到互联网，这提供了利用射频识别（RFID）、近场通信（NFC）、无线传感器网络（WSN）和通用移动访问的先进技术来构建智能化的系统和应用的机会。在这个案例中，办公室/实验室椅子要被连接到互联网。具体而言，一个组装的Arduino系统负责自动扫描用户的ID且获取座椅的占用状态，然后把这些信息发送到云服务器。在云中收集和分析的数据可以在Android的应用程序中显示。该物联网案例的成功就是一个很好的例子，学生在研究过程中学习先进的技术，以跟上计算机科学快速变化的步伐。%Nowadays, the undergraduate degree program has gradually evolved to include research projects in the capstone project class. Moreover, there is a growing need in our local industry for graduates with research skills in advanced technologies.This paper describes the experience of a team of two advisors, four undergraduate students, and one graduate student to design and implement an Internet of Things (IoT)-based research project in a final year capstone project class at Kennesaw State University. The IoT involves connecting physical objects to the Internet, which provide opportunity to build intelligent systems and applications by leveraging Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID), Near Field Communication (NFC), Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), and universal mobile accessibility advanced technologies. In this case study, the office/lab chairs are proposed to connect to the internet. During the one semester’s capstone project class, the proof-of-concept implementation (i.e., connecting one chair to the internet) is completed. To be specific, an assembled Arduino system is responsible for scanning user ID and obtaining chair’s occupancy status and then sending that information to the cloud server. The collected and stored data on the cloud can be retrieved and displayed on an Android application.This IoT case study shows a good example of learning advanced technologies during the research process so that students can keep pace with the rapid rate of change in computer science.
