Overview

The Internet of Things (IoT) is an advanced technology that can link objects in the home, on transport, in the street or in the home together with little or no human interactions. IoT is reshaping modern systems, incorporating technological, economic, and social prospects.

From alerting health professionals if someone in the home has had a fall to enabling home users to make better use of energy tariffs during day for household chores IoT is becoming a force in all industries & is generating valuable data.

With IoT systems evolving from conventional to more personalised systems where information can be safely accessed, shared, and studied more easily this course will equip you with the knowledge and skills to businesses are looking for in this area.

Why study Internet of Things Engineering?

A shift has taken place, and change is inevitable, therefore as a society, it is an opportunity to transform, adapt and embrace Internet of Things (IoT). The Internet of Things is making all devices in the home and in the industrial environment smart and we can use that to our advantage to be more efficient, sustainable, inclusive, ethical, kinder to planet and society.

Your future career

MSc Internet of Things Engineering has the potential to support postgraduate career opportunities. After graduating from this programme, the job profile of the students will be diversified over several engineering fields such as:

• Bringing new products and technologies to the market, which is increasingly the focus on business development skills among senior managers.
• Research and Development (R&D) section, which is stimulating demand for highly skilled graduates and increasing collaboration between smart communication research centers and industry.
• Hardware Design, Internet of Things devices are commonly made up of instrumentation. Therefore, fabrication involves hardware design, calibration and communication.
• Software and App development, through the mentioned communication Internet of Things devices have to be designed for use with the correct platform. Smart devices are often designed to be used along with mobile phones. Therefore, giving the professional understanding of Android and iPhone development.
• Government and environmental agencies value instrumentation and data analysis to identify the opportunities to meet low carbon policies and legislation, which is increasing investment in energy efficient technologies and driving research in lightweight materials.
