Minor Degree in “Internet of Things”

A minor degree program in the Internet of Things (IoT) provides students with an introduction to
the principles and applications of IoT technologies. The IoT is a rapidly growing field that
involves connecting everyday objects and devices to the internet, enabling them to collect and
exchange data. The minor program typically consists of courses in computer science, electrical
engineering, and data analytics, all focused on the IoT domain.

Students will learn about the hardware and software components of IoT devices, including
sensors, actuators, microcontrollers, and cloud computing platforms. They will also study the
communication protocols and networking technologies that enable IoT devices to communicate
with each other and with internet services.

The program also covers the applications of IoT, including smart cities, healthcare, agriculture,
and industrial automation. Students will explore the ethical, legal, and social implications of IoT,
as well as security and privacy concerns.

The minor degree in IoT can complement majors in computer science, electrical engineering,
data science, or other related fields, providing students with a broad range of skills and
knowledge that will be in high demand in the job market. Graduates of the program may pursue
careers in IoT product development, data analytics, or cybersecurity, among other fields.
