CB6: Possessing and understanding knowledge that provides a basis or opportunity to be original in the development and/or application of ideas, often in a research context. CB10: Students possess the learning skills that enable them to continue studying in a way that is largely self-directed or autonomous. CG1: Ability to identify, define and formulate problems to be solved related to IOT applications. This ability includes the simultaneous assessment of all factors at play, not only technical, but also environmental and civil liability. CG6: Ability to apply acquired knowledge and solve problems in new or poorly known environments within broader, multidisciplinary contexts, with the ability to integrate knowledge. CG7: Ability to communicate (orally and in writing) conclusions - and the knowledge and ultimate reasons behind them - to specialized and non-specialised audiences in a clear and unambiguous manner. CG8: Capacity for continuous, self-directed and autonomous learning in advanced areas linked to IoT. Learning outcomes: - Knowing the state of the art of the current assembly techniques for applications related to the IoT. - Knowing the most relevant issues of packaging, thermal management, electromagnetic interference, and energy management. - Knowing the state of the art in energy harvesting and batteries.

Learning activities. Theoretical classes, practical classes, tutoring hours, individual or group work of the student. Teaching Methodology. Classroom lessons by means of presentations and simulations. In these lessons, the main concepts of the subject will be developed by teacher and complementary references will be given to students. Practical case studies and problems resolution will be proposed by the teacher to be solved individually or in groups. Project and reports development, individually or in group.
