Internet of Things Is Changing Teaching of Technical Subjects at UTS

The Internet of Things, involving the connection of intelligent devices (other than standard, already connected products such as computers and smartphones) to the Internet, is in the process of transforming numerous areas of lives. For many years, both academia and industry prepared the background theories and implementations for what is todays IoT, keeping changing and evolving. Students of universities, preparing to be the driving forces of innovation and progress have a very strong interest in IoT and related subjects. Teaching at universities, especially technical ones is strongly affected by the need to give students required background and show the direction for self study. In this paper we will provide a literature review to analyze how IoT inspired changes in teaching some technical subjects at University of Technology Sydney (UTS) by describing, the recent undertaken projects in this area, providing some case studies and drawing conclusions.
