The internet of things in higher education: is there a real impact?

Abstract

The present work allows to show the impact that the educational establishments have suffered at a higher level in all areas (study plans, teaching updating, preparation of the students involved), as well as the interest that the organizations and companies have shown inside and outside of the community involved; It is of great interest to be able to understand that this is a joint effort if you want to generate a really significant change that aims to significantly impress the way processes are carried out in all the fields involved, which is why, through This research, the main objective is to show that in the Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) where they teach at the Engineering level, it requires substantial changes such as the implementation of the Dual Model with the traditional Model, which put it on a par in terms of the level of demand that is sought in the labor area, the current competitiveness, tilting the balance towards the application of new forms of teaching-learning, focusing knowledge in a more applicative and demonstrative way, to solve current problems whose solution goes hand in hand with the technology and new processes required by today's world Objectives, Methodology Reference is made to the benefits that can be shown immediately through exploratory interviews applied to those involved in different related careers such as Information Technology and Communications Engineering, Logistics Engineering and Mechatronics Engineering; thereby demonstrating the way in which the so-called Internet of Things can change and unify the contents of Higher Education. Contribution The main purpose of this work is to show the implications and importance of including knowledge focused on the Internet of Things within Higher Education, which will favorably equate the new processes that are required at the organizational level at the present time, bringing as a consequence the application of new technological tools and processes intrinsically related to them, which show significant advances in all the segments involved.
