Libelium and the Uned respond to the demand for expert professionals in IoT
With this objective they have launched a free course in Spanish, that will start next 12 June and teaches how to program devices for IoT, understand how to read all the information collected by the sensors, Interact with actuators and send information through the XBee wireless communication protocol.
Libelium has renewed the agreement it had with the Unit and has launched a new free course in Spanish, that will start next 12 June, to delve into the development of Internet of Things projects (IoT).
The IoT sector is an emerging market that is demanding profiles of engineers with specific training to work as Technology Architecture Manager, Systems Engineer, Cloud Platform Software Engineer o Software and Hardware Developer. He 26% of European companies find it difficult to find the right professionals. In fact, The gap between the profiles that companies demand and the knowledge of the candidates is one of the great threats to the growth of the IoT market.
Libelium and Uned aim to promote the employability of young engineers in Spain. The educational program is divided into six different modules with practical content: introduction to Waspmote and IoT, analog and digital input/output, sensors, communication by XBee 802.15.4, sending sensory data and introducing sleep modes.
The course allows students to program devices for the Internet of Things, understand how to read all the information collected by the sensors (like temperature, humidity or pressure), Learn how to interact with actuators and send information via the XBee wireless communication protocol. The course is based on Waspmote, the horizontal and open source sensor platform.
The program will start next 12 June and will end on 3 September. Registration can be done through the Uned website.
With the aim that the student can put into practice the knowledge taught in the modules, Libelium has developed a special kit that includes:: Waspmote 802.15.4 Antenna PCB, Waspmote Gateway 802.15.4 Antenna PCB, mini Cable USB. 2300 mAh LiPo battery and a temperature sensor
