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

Most science, engineering, and technology departments at two-yearinstitutions are small – usually two to five faculty members who teach multiple classes in thesame field or multiple sections of the same class. This staffing model typically does not supporta breadth of expertise across many technical fields. With vacuum technology being a niche field,the probability of having existing faculty and staff with experience in the vacuum technologyfield is extremely low.

the search on “human rights” AND engineering into thecategories of: sociology 189; genetics heredity 166, medical ethics 141, government law 113,social issues 96, philosophy 89, psychology 88, health care sciences services 86, behavioralsciences 81, and engineering 69. This indicates that other disciplines commonly exploreintersections among engineering / technology and human rights. Comparing the number ofarticles published in the European Journal of Engineering Education with the Journal ofEngineering Education (affiliated with the American Society for Engineering Education, ASEE),those outside the U.S. seem to more frequently explore intersections among human rights andengineering.Table 1.
