Modules
COMP6131 Internet of Things Essentials 3 45 hrs ---
This module provides a comprehensive overview of the Internet of Things (IoT), and

introduces the design fundamentals of the IoT. An IoT environment should facilitate
interactions among intelligent machines, smart devices, ubiquitous computing systems,
interactive physical objects and human user communications. Numerous essentials and
underlying technologies enabling IoT are discussed, starting different recommended
system and middleware architectures, material science of sensing technologies, wireless
sensor networks, machine-to-machine communications, Cloud computing technologies,
etc. Topics such as RFID, MQTT, CoAP are discussed. In order to obtain more hands-on
experience in building IoT applications, project-based system constructions through
interconnecting different smart sensing devices and coding the latest popular single
board computers (SBCs) will be covered.
COMP6166 Principles of Environmental Science 3 45 hrs ---
This module provides a comprehensive introduction to the key principles and issues
within environmental science. Students will explore the underlying causes of
environmental problems and examine strategies for achieving sustainable societies. The
module covers ecosystem dynamics, focusing on the energy and matter flow essential
for life. Additionally, the module delves into the significance of biodiversity, the factors
influencing it, and methods to sustain it. Students will also investigate the environmental
impacts of urbanization and human population growth. Furthermore, the module
evaluates economic tools and environmental policies designed to implement sustainable
approaches, preparing students to address and mitigate environmental challenges
effectively.
COMP6167 Ecosystems and Global Change 3 45 hrs ---

This advanced module builds on the foundational knowledge of environmental science
and delves deeper into issues surrounding the consumption of natural resources within
Earth's ecosystems, how these practices contribute to global change, and the challenges
associated with sustainable resource usage. Students will investigate the natural
resources that sustain life and critically examine the environmental impacts of food
production, freshwater use, and mineral extraction, while evaluating sustainable
resource consumption strategies. The module will explore the causes and impacts of air
and water pollution, with a special focus on climate change. Additionally, students will
compare major energy sources, advocating for transitions to more sustainable energy
systems. The module also identifies environmental hazards impacting human health and
assesses the challenges posed by solid and hazardous waste, proposing methods to
achieve a low-waste society. This module prepares students to analyze complex
environmental issues and develop practical solutions for sustainability in a changing
world.
COMP6168 Smart City Modelling and 3 45 hrs ---
Simulation
This module provides an introduction to the concepts, techniques, and tools used in

modeling and simulating smart cities. Students will learn the fundamentals of smart city
infrastructure, data collection and analysis, and simulation methodologies. They will
explore various modeling techniques and simulation platforms to gain insights into the
planning, design, and evaluation of smart city systems.
