College of Engineering and Sciences
The Institute of Business Management’s Masters of IoT Systems Management (ISM) is a multidisciplinary degree that bridges academic disciplines of IoT, Systems Engineering and Management to facilitate degree completion. This degree offers students the opportunity to select two focus areas of study (a primary related to IoT Systems and a secondary related to its Management). Each student will be assigned an advisor in the college that fields their primary focus area. This degree is also designed for non-traditional students, returning students, students who arrive at IoBM with 16 years of teaching. Intake is from Engineering, Medical, Computing and other relevant disciplines.
Rationale
Learning the Internet of Things (IoT) can prove to be vital to help in your career. An exciting stream of future IoT applications will arise starting from 2021-2025 that would bring computer interactivity to life. The new-age concept of IoT will allow people to interact over great distances in real-time – both with each other and with machines – and this may create sensory experiences.
This course is designed to provide you with the opportunity to acquire knowledge across a range of computing and engineering systems disciplines and develop skills in the use of cloud computing, communication systems, cyber physical systems and security.
You will benefit from access to our modern facilities which include a range of professionally equipped laboratories and on campus IoT communication infrastructure. We have installed an IoT Gateway on campus, which will be used to connect our IoT sensors and edge devices; such as Arduinos and Raspberry Pi's, to a cloud for IoT.
In Pakistan, shift is focused towards rapid growth of data networks, as well as towards electronically facilitated services particularly in the public sector. IoT System Managers design develop test and supervise deployment of electrical systems and electric devices. They are expected to work on the design of sub-micron Digital and Analogue Integrated Circuits, Digital Signal Processors, Control System Design and Testing services. The Master of Science (MS) program in IoT Systems Management is designed to prepare students for technically demanding careers in industry as well as for research career in IoT and related fields. More specifically:
This requires an ability to apply reasoning informed by contextual knowledge to assess societal, health, safety, legal and cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to professional engineering practice and solution to IoT Systems Management problems. These are :
With the challenges faced on a global level (Sustainability, health, environmental protection) there is a new need for companies and organizations to integrate technical and business skills to solve these difficult problems.
The program objectives are to provide expertise in the areas of hardware-software in wireless communications and IoT end terminals including the following
In general following are the prime objectives of MS program:
Engineering/Computing Graduates holding BS / 16 years of education in Engineering/Computing subjects from HEC recognized institutions with minimum 50% marks in overall academic career or equivalent:
In addition, for Non-Computing and Non-Engineering background, following four project-based courses are mandatory (as deficiency courses)
