Plagiarism is the presentation of another person’s work or ideas without proper or complete acknowledgement. “Plagiarism includes, but is not limited to, failure to indicate the source with quotation marks or footnotes where appropriate if any of the following are reproduced in the work submitted by a student: A written phrase A graphic element A proof Specific language An idea derived from the work, published or unpublished, of another person.”

Student Conduct (see OC Calendar)

Students registered at OC are expected to behave responsibly and with propriety. The sanctions imposed by OC for misconduct (disruption, damage, discrimination or harassment), misrepresentation, academic dishonesty or plagiarism will depend upon the circumstances. They may include a simple warning, a reassessment of the student’s work, a grade of “Fail” on a particular assignment, test or examination, or in a course or program. The Dean may recommend to the President that the student be denied admission or readmission, forfeit OC financial aid, or be suspended and/or expelled.

Student Attendance (see OC Calendar)

This course has a heavy laboratory components, OC policy states that attendance is mandatory. Students are required to attend 80% of scheduled lab classes and maintain regular attendance during lectures. Failure to do so will result in the awarding of a maximum grade of “D” or 54% in the course. Absence is defined as missing all or part of any scheduled lecture or lab and includes arriving more than ten minutes late for class, and leaving the class at any time before the end of the scheduled instructional period.

The website should also allow some type of control over the embedded system (e.g. activate a switch to turn on a light). The website should have more than one page on it (maybe one main page with a summary of the current status and then one page for each of the monitor/control elements).

Course Outline




Project Deliverables: 1. Project demonstration

Learners will present a 5 to 10 minute demonstration that will highlight what their project it, what it does, how it works, how networking plays a role and then have demonstration of the functioning project.

2. Project description

Learners will produce a written description of your project. This written description will include an introduction, a user guide as well as a description of the design. It will highlight the following items:

Overview – what is project and how networking plays a role in the overall functionality

User Guide - Instructions for someone who wants to implement the project themselves.

This does not have to be incredibly detailed but the details that would go in here would be specific configuration types of things, e.g., how the user would configure his or her network to use the system and how the user would connect to the server.

Description

a) flow chart and description for the different parts of your code. b) Message flow and interconnection diagram (show in pictures how your device

connects to the internet and/or other servers and what the flow of data is) c) Examples of the HTTP or other messages that will be passed back and forth between

client and server: 1) For when the client tries requests a particular webpage that exists 2) For when the client requests a particular webpage that does not exist. 3) For when the client requests a particular command be executed and the command

is supported. 4) For when the client requests a particular command be executed and the command

is not supported.

Source Code – Learners will provide properly formatted and documents source code for

both the embedded platform (Arduino) and html files.
