Advanced Global PBL on IoT at HUST
HUST: Hanoi University of Science and Technology, Vietnam
AgPBL (Advanced Global PBL) on IoT was held at HUST (Hanoi University of Science andTechnology), Vietnam, from October 30 to November 7 in 2018, hosted by School of Information
and Communication Technology in HUST. The main purpose of this PBL was to create ideas whichsolve problems on IoT research. Firstly, a research survey paper was delivered in each group formedby both SIT and HUST students. The participants investigated the paper and found difficulties inexisting researches. Then, they brainstormed the solutions to overcome the difficulties. Based on thesolutions, they proposed systems and developed them. Finally, they presented their achievements
and demonstrated the developed systems to show the feasibilities.
21 students from SIT and 24 students from HUST participated in the AgPBL. 3 faculty members
from SIT and 7 faculty members and staff members from HUST supervised the students andorganized the AgPBL. The participants were divided into 7 groups. Every group proposed a uniqueand intriguing idea, and developed a prototype system.
Besides the AgPBL activities, a research workshop was held. Mainly bachelor students
presented their ongoing researches and discussed the achievements with the audience. It was a goodexperience for them since this was the first time that most of them had talked about their research
activities in English in a global environment.
One invited talk session was also prepared. Dr. Than Quang Khoat in HUST gave a presentation
on “Bayesian learning from big and streaming data”. In addition, the participants visited hislaboratory, Data Science Laboratory (DSLab), and observed their research activities.
Furthermore, the participants visited “Mai Chau – Hoa Binh” which is a traditional Vietnamese
village as a cultural exchange.
As a whole, this AgPBL was successful and the participants achieved their goals as well asbrushing up their English communication skills.
