The Internet of Things technology is not an emerging technology, it is actually a cross-disciplinary, involving computer networks, software development, communications technology, electronics technology, measurement and control technology, project management and other aspects of traditional professional knowledge. The scope of employment is very broad:
Software: program programming, embedded development, etc.;
Hardware: computer networks, communications, electronics, measurement and control, etc.;
Other categories: project management, project management, etc..
The reasons for such a wide range of employment are also varied:
Because the Internet of Things technology covers a lot of areas, and the knowledge that can be learned in the university is more limited, so it is easy to produce a feeling that the Internet of Things major and computer science is very similar. In fact, the Internet of Things program is much broader and fuller than the computer program.
It is understood that the Internet of Things technology students in addition to learning programming languages, networks and other IT basics, but also focus on learning sensors, RFID, pattern recognition foundation of these Internet of Things perceptual layer of knowledge.
In the later professional direction, the Internet of Things students will come into contact with the larger projects and topics, the application of the industry will be very broad, such as closer to our smart home, smart agriculture, food traceability, and business use of cold chain transportation, pharmaceutical supply chain, the state advocates the smart city and so on.
Such a wide range of employment scenarios, the need to determine the direction and find a way out, the previous has listed three aspects: software direction, hardware direction, project direction.
Software direction should focus on learning programming skills, study the software application cases in the IoT direction, understand the programming language used in IoT applications, and stick to it for lifelong research and learning.
Hardware direction to focus on understanding the Internet of Things architecture system used in the network gateway, sensors, screen display and other hardware products, and RF, mode and other product interfaces or parameters as a palm of your hand, until it reaches the requirements of research and development personnel.
The project direction focuses on understanding the overall architecture and operation mechanism of the Internet of Things (IoT), in-depth study of IoT application solutions in various industries, leading the project, implementing the project, managing the project, and being a qualified IoT manager.
In short, the Internet of Things industry is very large, want to occupy a place in it is not difficult. The important thing is to have a clear understanding of their own, in-depth study of a field to become a professional in this field, and ultimately contribute to the IoT industry.
