Internet of Things Certificate

Program Description

In the Internet of Things (IoT) Certificate program, students learn about IoT core concepts, components, and applications. Students identify key characteristics and features of IoT applications while examining hardware technologies and components that enable IoT devices to function. They explore the primary communication protocols that facilitate data exchange within IoT systems and understand how various sensors capture and transmit data under software control. Additionally, students examine hardware and software features and functions of common IoT applications. Students also learn about data generation, transmission, storage, and analysis in IoT ecosystems. Finally, students develop the skills to troubleshoot and resolve issues that arise in IoT devices.This certificate program prepares students for careers associated with technical support of IoT devices and applications.
