The grant is titled the Internet of Things Education Project (IoTEP) (DUE-1801090)25.Another View:One without much knowledge of IoT application technology might argue that the networkingcomponent of these sensor/actuator-based systems will be handled by the IT staff of the particularorganization or enterprise (i.e. ala Cisco). However, this would be a naïve view of what is entailedby these systems. Most IoT applications use non-Enterprise, industry and function specific, areanetworks. From the control and automation field there are many “fieldbus” implementations. Fromthe building automation field there are the

) indicates that demand for engineers will continue to show asteady growth during the 2014-2024 period and expects greater-than-average growth fromseveral individual engineering fields with rates ranging from 23.1% for biomedical engineers to5.3% for mechanical engineers. The increasing employment of engineers in service industries,research and development, and consulting is expected to generate most of the employmentgrowth.A high level of achievement in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM)education is essential if the U.S. is to maintain a leading role in space science, aeronautics,cybersecurity, and technology in general. At the same time, too many students are graduatinghigh school without the skills needed to succeed in
