An Education Program on Sensor Technologies in IoT

Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) systems use a wide range of technologies such as sensor data collection and big data analysis on the cloud. This paper proposes an education program for students to acquire the sensor technology and its effective use of designing new IoT systems, in which the students learn the technologies on sensor components, sensor software, and sensor solutions. The proposed program is designed to motivate the students to improve the existent sensors and to create the new idea of sensors. We applied the education program to four courses of universities and evaluated its applicability and effectiveness.
