Course Description
Internet of Things (IoT)
Course Code: IoT90.01 β IoT Architect Program
The Internet of Things (IoT) Architect program equips students with the technical and architectural
skills needed to design, deploy, and manage intelligent connected systems. Learners will gain
a comprehensive understanding of IoT technology stacks, communication protocols, telemetry messaging,
and the layered architecture that enables device-to-cloud integration.
Students will also explore how IoT solutions create business value, from automation and data analytics
to smart infrastructure and industrial applications. The course combines theoretical foundations with
hands-on practice to build proficiency in IoT design, edge computing, and scalable connectivity models.
in IoT system design, implementation, and management across connected environments.
