Xiao Ming: “Hey, why did my smart watch suddenly stop working?”
Xiao Hong: “Is it out of battery?
Xiao Ming: “No, it suddenly started speaking alien language!”
Xiao Hong: “Then you need to find an IoT engineer to take a look; they are the ‘translators’ for devices!”
The Internet of Things Engineering major is a magical field that makes devices ‘speak properly’!
01About the Internet of Things Engineering Major
Internet of Things Engineering is an interdisciplinary field involving computer science, communications, electronics, and more, primarily studying how to achieve the interconnection of all things and realize intelligent management and control. When you think of “Internet of Things Engineering,” you might first think of applications like smart speakers (Baidu, Xiaomi), smartphones, etc. However, here we focus more on the warm field of “smart health care”!
Through the deep integration of IoT and artificial intelligence, we are committed to building an intelligent future for health management, chronic disease monitoring, and smart medical scenarios. It’s like weaving a “smart protective net” for the health care industry, making technology warmer and life more secure and convenient.
In daily life, whether it’s the smart watches, smart TVs, smart speakers, or smart air conditioners we use, or the enterprises utilizing IoT technology for equipment monitoring and management, all reflect the wide application of Internet of Things Engineering.
Imagine this: when you are at work and the delivery person arrives, you can use your phone to open the video monitor and tell the delivery person to place the package in a designated spot at your door; when you are about to finish work, you can send commands via your phone to control the rice cooker to start cooking and turn on the water heater to heat water; after having dinner at home, if you want to rest, you can talk to the smart speaker to adjust the brightness and color of the living room lights, and play music, etc.
For example, a smart vineyard system uses sensors for temperature, humidity, light, oxygen, and carbon dioxide to monitor the grape growing environment in real-time, and uses sensors for soil temperature, humidity, pH, and nutrient elements to monitor the specific conditions of the soil. When it detects that the light is too strong, it can open the shading net to reduce light intensity; when the soil is too dry, it can open the water pipe to irrigate… These may seem out of reach, but they are actually very close!
02How to Become a Professional in Internet of Things Engineering
Of course, to become an excellent professional in Internet of Things Engineering, you need to learn many practical courses, such as Introduction to the Discipline, Principles and Applications of Sensors, IoT Communication Technology, Embedded System Design and Development, Machine Learning, AIOT Application Development Training, etc.
Mastering this knowledge will enable you to proficiently use various IoT technologies and tools, possess strong system design and project development capabilities, and be able to independently complete the development and optimization of complex IoT engineering projects.
Through school-enterprise cooperation projects, you can also develop smart health care systems and devices, such as designing health management systems, chronic disease monitoring devices, or participating in “robot + IoT” rehabilitation training projects, making learning full of practical fun!
After graduation, your employment options are very broad. You can work in technology companies, internet companies, health management enterprises, health care institutions, government departments, etc., engaging in the research and promotion of IoT systems and embedded devices, research and consulting in the IoT industry, system integration, operation and maintenance, project management, etc.; you can also work in research institutions conducting research on IoT technology.
Whether providing intelligent living services for people or promoting the application and development of IoT technology in various industries, professionals in Internet of Things Engineering can play an important role.
