SOFTWARE AG, JAMES COOK TO OFFER IOT ENGINEERING DEGREE

摘要

The first batch of students from the four-year degree, which began in 2016, will graduate at the end of this year. The degree, a first in the country, is accredited by Engineers Australia. The university has also started offering Masters of Engineering (Professional) in IoT and Data Engineering from 2019, Australia’s first masters course in IoT. A statement from Software AG said Australia was one of the highest per capita spenders on IoT in the Asia Pacific region, excluding Japan, according to IDC’s Worldwide Semi-annual Internet of Things Spending Guide. Professor Wei Xiang, Foundation Chair and head of Discipline of Electronics Systems and Internet of Things Engineering at James Cook University, said the university needed to partner with a technology provider that could provide the IoT platform and also work with students on IoT-related projects.
