Make everything smarter and Internet-connected
The fourth industrial revolution is here, and it demands skilled professionals who not only know how to develop programs, but who can also interface hardware and “the cloud”, or the Internet. This innovative program covers a range of computer programming skills with a unique focus on the Internet of Things (IoT). You will learn algorithms, application and IoT programming, data management, networks, and analysis, in addition to machine learning foundations.
IoT produces huge amounts of data which has become known as the “new oil”. Equipped with proper data analytics skills, we can add value to industries and businesses.
From Arduino home automation projects to industrial IoT, this program offers an enjoyable hands-on learning journey in computer programming with a special focus on the cutting-edge field of the Internet of Things.
Program highlights
- One-of-a-kind IoT and programming diploma
- Blend of courses in computer science, IoT engineering, and data analysis
- Programming languages, algorithmic thinking, machine learning, and application development skills
- Design and implement robotic devices that sense and intelligently act in their surroundings
- Make “things” for mining, services, transportation, and homes reachable over the Internet
- Pathways to computer science degrees and graduate certificates in AI, cybersecurity, mobile application development, data analytics, business analysis, and others
