Methodological Aspects of the Internet of Things Disciplines Study

Abstract

The overview of computer technologies of the Internet of things (IoT) and the brief analysis of a composition and structure of IoT were carried out. Properties of embedded control systems, as the main component of IoT, and features of their development were considered. The IoT-industry inquiries into graduates of higher education institutions analyzed, namely, the level of understanding of the structure and processes in an ecosystem were operate manufacturers of component, suppliers of completed solutions and companies-integrators, as well as possessing a systematic, holistic approach to analysis and evaluation of a business environment and solution of problems, openness to new knowledge, ideas and technologies, ability to organize their own activities and to carry out team projects, effectively communicate with a customer, formulate a technical task, develop a time-lines, assess and ensure the quality of product, represent a product and justify the proposed solution. With this in mind, the key issues and problems of teaching of some IoT relevant disciplines and ways to solve them have been studied. It is shown that highly effective is the educational project training. The special algorithm for creation of built-in IT tools for the IoT to use by students in the process of studying the relevant disciplines and the creation of their own projects has been developed. The algorithm involves the study of most of the widely spread technologies, the conditions of their application and covers all stages of developments used in a real production. The implementation of this research results at Borys Grinchenko Kyiv University for the training of specialists in the specialty "Computer Science" within the framework of disciplines "Physical processes in computing systems" and "Technologies of embedded computer system designing" is described.
