Description:

Internet of Things encompasses billions of devices connected wirelessly to the internet, generating vast amounts of data in real time. The job market for professionals who can engineer these connections is growing exponentially. In this innovation track program, students will learn the tools and technologies needed to build cutting-edge solutions that make possible the internet of things.

Specific learning outcomes include:

  • Apply concepts involved in machine-to-machine communications
  • Apply techniques for connecting to and reading sensor data
  • Develop application interfaces to the cloud
  • Use tools to store, process and visualize data collected by IoT devices

To obtain the IoT Track certificate, you must take two technical courses (6 credits) in addition to the core courses in entrepreneurship (see About for more details).
