Abstract

A smart lab system (based on a traditional IT laboratory, with additional Internet of Things (IOT) technology and mobile application technology) is based on IOT and mobile application technologies and aims to provide a practice platform for university students learning IOT concepts and mobile application technology. It provides a real smart environment for a university to help improve campus management in the Internet era.

Introduction: Why Students Need a Smart Laboratory

With advances in computer science and Internet technologies, an increasing number of universities have established their own information technology (IT) institutes. Today, information technology is a basic skill required in many fields, which is why so many students take IT courses. Unlike in the 1980s, IT is no longer solely based on computer science but also on Internet technologies. With the H.

evolution of Internet technologies, the concept of the computer has expanded to include small devices such as the mobile phone, which is now a high-performance computing and networking device (Zhang et al. 2009). Students who want to become professional software developers must have adequate practice in that work while still in university. Therefore, universities need to offer professional IT laboratories in addition to computer labs. A network IT lab has become the standard configuration of most IT institutes. With the right equipment, environment, and courses, students can study and practice many experiments in a network IT lab, including TCP/IP stacks, different types of OS development, and Internet development based on
