Internet of Things (IoT) : Our Next Revolutionary Resource

Internet of things is the next revolutionary resources of the industry today.

It was between 2008 and 2010 that the term IoT gained popularity and visibility. The buzz was due to the maturity of the Wireless Sensors Networks and the improved expectations about IoT. IoT’s big picture came into existence only in 2012 as mentioned by the area experts.

The worldwide spending on IoT and related field is on the rise and likely to surpass the US$1 trillion mark in 2022. There are multiple sectors that are sure to benefit from IoT solutions. These include manufacturing, networking, IT based companies and largely Electronics industry. IoT revolution has taken the start-ups by a storm. IoT start-ups are already solving some of the most challenging problems, enabling new business models and truly transforming industries that are involved with IoT the most.

Internet of things is going to be present everywhere. In Smart refrigerators/pantries that use weight-based sensors and re-order food items, Fitness trackers using GPS devices, smart homes where lights, heat and air conditioning are remotely controlled, Security systems with face and voice recognition to gain entry etc.

Electronics industry stands to gain the maximum from the IoT revolution. Electronics manufacturers have been connecting devices and appliances for years. VLSI and embedded systems companies like Intel, Cisco as well as IT companies like Microsoft, Google are going in a big way in IoT. It’s easy to see what a huge opportunity the connected home is creating for the electronics industry.

The NorthCap University,Gurugram is offering B.Tech. Electronics and Communication Engineering with specialization in Internet of Things where students will be able to apply practical knowledge on IoT sensors, microcontrollers, networks, cloud computing and machine learning to develop IoT systems.

Electronics & Communication Engineering (ECE) graduates at NCU have best of both the worlds in campus placements

Students graduating from the department of EECE, NCU enjoys the best of both the worlds in terms of campus placements as they not only have placement opportunities in well-known electronics and communication engineering companies such as Mentor Graphics, Cadence, Intel, Samsung, Ericsson, Orange, Airtel, Qualcom, Exicom Telesystems, Luminous Power, Lutron, Horiba etc.  but also in premium computer software and information technology companies like TCS, Deloitte, IBM, Fidelity, Postdot and the list goes on. This is evident from the record of 19 years that nearly 100% students who have graduated in ECE are offered attractive annual packages. Many of our students are opting higher studies in the reputed universities of US, Europe, Canada and India. Some of our students are now successful entrepreneurs and have set up their own thriving ventures.

Keeping the industry demand in minds, the department has introduced two new specializations - Internet of Things (IoT) & Embedded systems and VLSI design. India is a growing market in IoT sector which is leading to the requirement of skilled IoT professionals. In the last three years, the demand the talent has been accelerated by 300%. This is why IoT is seen as the next big thing in technology, which will transform the employment landscape in the industry and we want you ready to grab that opportunity. Specialization in Embedded systems and VLSI design will offer you better career and research prospects in India and abroad in core domains.

This has been possible due to the progressive and innovative approach of the department of ECE to upgrade and keep the course curriculum and the teaching learning processes aligned to the emerging industry trends. With an advent of new technologies in ECE such as Internet of Things (IOT) and 4G and 5G mobile phones and Chip industry revolution, an ECE engineer is expected to have a sound foundation in software and computer engineering subjects too. In  fact today’s mobile phone  is no longer just a phone but a mini computer, capable for many functions like internet browsing, e-mail, searching information online, watching movies, playing video games, running software programmes to do small scientific and engineering problems, Google mapping, controlling home in the aspects of security and other appliances, the list is endless. Therefore, to match up to  these multifold industry needs, an ECE student at The NorthCap University  is not only given a strong knowledge of core electronics and communication engineering subjects but also many software and computer engineering subjects  like C++, Java, Python, Webapps, data base management systems,  mobile apps, Linux, cloud  computing, cybersecurity, big data and so on and the list is reviewed on yearly basis.
