UCLA Engineering Design: Internet of Things
Combine sensors, code and machine learning in a demonstrable engineering system.
UCLA’s IoT engineering-design course uses the Samueli School of Engineering’s platform. Students explore microsensors, neural networks and motion recognition, develop an open-ended project through coding and experiments, and explain results in a report, video and live presentation.

Program organizer & learning outcomes
University / venue relationship
A UCLA-run Summer Precollege Focus Series course, separate from iD Tech.
Credit / certificate
Engineering 1IT carries 2 UCLA units and a letter grade; contact an advisor about any certificate.
Courses & activities
Microsensors and IoT
Use common IoT sensors and explore how hardware data enters a software system.
Machine learning and neural networks
Learn foundational model concepts and apply algorithms to sensor tasks.
C programming and lab coding
Connect hardware and software through a C-programming workshop and lab experiments.
Motion recognition and final project
Explore motion patterns relevant to navigation; develop a chosen system and present a report, video and live demonstration.
Camp features & life
Practical engineering platform
Students receive an IoT kit and accessories and must bring a Mac or Windows laptop to every class.
Research and industry perspectives
Learn from researchers and industry guests about sensors, machine learning and engineering applications.
University-course assessment
Project work and attendance are assessed under the course’s letter-grade requirements.

Travel & participation
International students may apply, but the Summer Precollege Focus Series does not qualify for an F-1 visa. The student’s permitted participation under their immigration status must be checked first.
Do not assume another UCLA program’s housing or visa arrangements apply; families must arrange off-campus accommodation, supervision and transport.
Successful completion allows no more than two absences. Application statements should be authentic student work; the program discourages generative-AI-written responses.
