Introduced in the fall semester and taught by Illinois CS professor Elahe Soltanaghai, this class provides an opportunity for students to gain experience working with hardware related to wireless sensing and networking. Soon supported by a new, dedicated makerspace the course will expand to include more undergraduate students.
Illinois Computer Science professor Elahe Soltanaghai came here in 2021 with a driven research purpose focused on wireless sensing and networking that leads to hands-on experimental work connected to Internet of Things (IoT) devices and cyber-physical systems.
Many of the amazing undergraduate students she works with have a deep computer science background, she said, but they have not been as exposed to work with hardware.
The professor noted that it’s not like these same students…
