AB  - The Internet of Things holds the promise of enabling truly transformational increases in productivity similar to those enabled by the steam power and electricity. IOT can enable significant optimizations of workflows and processes across a wide range of domains and activities. Educators face the challenge of providing students with both the knowledge to understand the capabilities of IOT but also with providing students with practical, hand-on experiences with IOT that would reinforce theoretical knowledge and facilitate innovation. The later dimension of technical education requires access to an IOT infrastructure and the mentoring and resources that can support students in validating new ideas. At East Carolina University, we architected and implemented a multi-campus IOT platform that makes it easy to deploy and manage most types of sensors. The platform makes it easy to analyze collected data and implement automation of workflows based on insights extracted from the data. We view this platform as a means to transform the campus into a lab and enlisted the Isley Innovation Hub to mentor students to innovate on this IOT platform. The Isley Innovation Hub is run by the Miller School of Entrepreneurship and provides the space, the tools and the guidance students need to test their ideas. This paper describes the results of this collaboration and the benefits of combining innovation mentorship with campus wide IOT platform facilitating experimentation and education. This collaboration includes awareness activities, IOT training and management of ideation and prototyping.
