This Learning Object is part of the Master degree in Precision Agriculture, a Czech existing Master developed within AGRITECH EU project through the creation of e-learning modules under LMS Moodle and the development of an IoT laboratory with high quality sensors, IoT equipment, transfer data possibilities and installation of sensors on fields
Module details
After completing the course, students will be able to understand in depth the development, characteristics, and possibilities of Big Data technologies. They will be able to practically apply this theoretical knowledge in the design and implementation of their own technical project, which they will present clearly and defend professionally in the exam. Graduates will thus gain not only a technical overview but also the ability to design specific solutions for complex data tasks.
