Program Overview

The Internet of Things (IoT) is playing a significant role in modern society including smart cities/homes, healthcare systems, social networks, etc. Current and future engineers will be faced with significant challenges in employment and implementation of IoT in extensive engineering applications. As such, there is a significant demand for students to further enhance their core skills and knowledge in analysis and design of IoT, especially in embedded systems, VLSI, and wireless communications. Students can greatly benefit from this accessible online option.

The Major in IoT within the Interdisciplinary Engineering master’s program (IDE ) focuses on the area of analysis and design of internet-of-things such as a system of interrelated computer devices, mechanical and digital machines, sensors and so on that connect and exchange data over the internet or other communication networks. This area spans a variety of application domains. The courses in this major will establish fundamental theories and tools in computing, sensors, embedded systems, chip design, and wireless communications.

A degree in Internet of Things from Purdue University:

• Increases leadership skills and ability to effectively lead diverse teams across multiple engineering disciplines.
• Promotes effective technical communication of complex concepts, analyses and solutions.
• Increases learner technical abilities and skills in a wide variety of cutting-edge engineering disciplines.
