MEM 490: Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)

Description

This is a one (1) unit course.

IoT has an enormous market potential of billions of connected devices generating Trillions in revenues.  IoT will change industries and transform the way we work and live.  Industrial companies are already pivoting from Products to Services leveraging IoT technologies – this digital transformation is more broadly called the Industrial IoT or Industrial Internet.  In the end, these industrial companies will become network-based businesses with connected products and factories.  It’s imperative that these companies transform their organizational architecture as they become connected network businesses.

As companies move beyond proof of concepts and pilots into full production and scale, they will have to turn their focus on the people part of the equation, re-skilling and retraining their workforces. This course aims to fulfill this critical gap. It’s an introductory course to Industrial Internet for any MEM student working in the industrial sector or planning to embark in a career around IoT.
