An educational environment for basic understanding of sensor networks

Abstract

The project emerges for the need to provide the students an educational environment to understand how the wireless sensor networks works. For that, it has been created a web page containing information about The Internet of Things (IoT), which is the title of the web, and the Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). By reading and seeing the contents of this website, the students will be able to acquire a basic understanding of these issues that will serve them to understanding the operation of WSN. But only with the reading and viewing pictures is difficult to understand correctly how WSN works. So that was created a simulator for WSN to be used by the students of 3rd year of engineering. To facilitate the work of them and the teachers has been created a user’s manual that explains in detail all the parts of the simulator and the operation of this. Thus, students will develop a more effective learning.
