Exploration and Consideration on the Course System Construction of IoT Specialty

Many colleges are developing or offering courses on Internet of things (IoT), however, their capacity is still in infant stage. What lies behind this is that IoT is a relatively new field and continues to develop at a very fast rate. This paper investigates and discusses the course system of IoT specialty, and compares the training programs and curriculum plans in numerous well-known colleges world-wide. On this foundation, a series of considerations and suggestions are proposed to construct the specialty course system for IoT. In addition, the IoT specialty of Hunan University is taking as an example, a unique course system that consists of a novel practice teaching system structure has been put into practical application. Results show that the course system is a valid part of the IoT specialty talent training mode, which provides a bridge between the training of school and the solving of real engineering problems.
