Internet of Things
Required Courses
For ECE/CSSE majors : ECE 436 Internet of Things (4 cr)
For all other majors : MDS 210 Introduction to Internet of Things (4 cr)
Plus 20 additional credit hours in a plan approved by one of the minor advisors in collaboration with the student to suit their particular interests and field of study. To provide students with a breadth of knowledge in the Internet of Things, this plan should include courses in the areas of: (1) hardware design of end devices, including sensors and actuation; (2) software design and data analysis; and (3) networks and security. The guidelines are designed to be flexible to accommodate students from any major; the tables below provide some examples of courses which fit these categorizations. No more than 8 credit hours from a named required course for the student’s major may be counted toward the minor requirements.
