Project Description

Purpose

The motivation behind this capstone project is due to the lack of available visual resources to assist students in learning communication protocols in a classroom setting. The product should be able to be customized at will from the lecturer to demonstrate how various communication settings influence network operation. This will provide a visual learning method that can relaibly showcase to a classroom how a network functions under different protocols.

Applications

The applications of the product are primarily to assist a teacher in providing a visual learning method to students as a supplement to material covered in class. A secondary application of this product would be to collect sensor data from the nodes in either an indoor or outdoor environment for research purposes.
