With the advent of the era of the Internet of Things (IoT), IoT technology has become an important component of the new generation of information technology, making it a popular direction for many students pursuing further studies. For those determined to conduct in-depth research in the field of IoT, taking the graduate entrance exam is an important pathway. So, what subjects are tested in IoT graduate entrance exams? This article will provide a comprehensive overview.
1. The Academic Discipline of IoT Graduate Entrance Exams
First, it is important to clarify that there is no first-level discipline directly named “IoT Engineering” in the graduate admissions professional directory. IoT is a typical interdisciplinary field, and its research directions are usually scattered across the following second-level disciplines or professional directions under several first-level disciplines:
-
Computer Science and Technology: This is the most common direction, focusing on the technical implementation of the perception layer (sensors, RFID) and the network layer (communication technology, network protocols) of IoT, as well as the processing and analysis of massive data.
-
Electronic Science and Technology / Information and Communication Engineering: This direction leans more towards hardware, mainly studying the chips, embedded systems, communication modules, and wireless communication technologies (such as 5G, ZigBee, LoRa) involved in the perception and network layers of IoT.
-
Control Science and Engineering: This direction focuses on the application layer of IoT, studying how to use the acquired data for intelligent control and decision optimization, especially widely applied in smart homes and industrial IoT.
Therefore, when preparing for the exam, you need to choose the relevant majors based on the specific situation of your target university.
Last year at this time, I was still struggling with exam anxiety: I forgot what I memorized for my major courses, got half of the English reading questions wrong, and was confused even when looking at the answers to math problems.I accidentally attended a trial class at Gaotu Graduate Exam, and it completely changed me:
Teacher Ding Shuang’s school selection strategy was incredibly clear,helping me lock in a highly cost-effective 211 university instead of blindly dreaming;
