ME – Internet of Things

The internet-of-things (IoT) is gradually being established in internet-based computing, which is already having a positive impact in a large number of application domains including smart cities, sustainable living, healthcare, manufacturing and many more. IoT systems involve interconnection with all virtually physical devices, collection and analysis of various data streams from sensors/actuators, decision making capabilities, human and machine interaction.

As on date, there are many unsolved issues in IoT enabled devices such as lack of standardisation, Security, Data Analytics and lack of experts. To solve these issues, it is required to produce manpower, technologies, and solutions in the field of IoT for national importance.

In this program, the students will learn various subjects such as fundamental of IoT, design of embedded system, IoT OS and device drivers, as core subject with hands on practices. The program contains various program elective subjects to explore various domains of IoT that includes machine learning, AI, deep learning, sensors & actuator, programming technologies, big data technologies, cloud computing, real-time data analytics, industry 4.0, wireless sensor network, high performance computing, and latest developments with practical explorer.

Career Opportunities in the Program

The IoT is going to be the dominant technology, where any device can connect with any other device in the world. The IoT integrates ambient sensing, ubiquitous communications, intelligent analytics, and pervasive computing.

As per a joint report by IAMAI (The Internet and Mobile Association of India) and Deloitte, Industrial, IoT is expected to surpass the consumer IoT space in India by 2020. It also predicts a $12 billion IoT opportunities worldwide. The accelerated pace of IoT adoption in the country will make sectors like industrial manufacturing, energy, agriculture, utilities, transport, and logistics lead the market etc, per the same report.

In the Gujarat state, small enterprises are providing IoT solutions with limited technical and human resources. It is required to create IoT Ecosystem at the University to fulfil the demand of IoT Solutions.

Internet of Thing Laboratory:

IoT-LAB is a part of the future Internet of the Thing) platform. It is a set of complementary components that enable experimentation on innovative services for academic and industrial users. The project gives students a way to experiment on mobile wireless communications to the network and on application layers, thereby accelerating the design of advanced networking technologies for the Future Internet.

Objective of Internet of Things (IoT) Laboratory is to perform and verify various concept of IoT as per the course curriculum, development of various IoT applications by our PG Students, and investigation of new technologies, algorithms for future demands. In the laboratory, following resources are available. 

Other than above laboratory there is MATLAB licence software and some open source software are utilized for simulation purpose.
