Project Summary

<< Background >>

IoT Rapid-ProtoLabs was a European transnational project brought HEIs and businesses together to accelerate IoT product development. The project created and implemented a multidisciplinary (ICT, Design and Industrial Engineering) curriculum guidelines, which focused on real problem-based activities. Student teams, teachers (coaches), and practitioners jointly developed solutions to challenging IoT applications, added value for enterprises, and increased the employability prospects for students.

<< Objectives >>

1. IoT Rapid-Prototyping Project-based Learning (IoTLabs) course curriculum2. Piloting the curriculum in order to validate the curriculum/Arena 3. Arena (portal) that supports project processes and knowledge transfer4. Disseminate findings and transfer knowledge to a wider EU audience 5. Design-in viability and scalability of IoTLabs (sustainability)

<< Implementation >>

During the project’s 3 pilot phases, multidisciplinary student teams (from three European countries) collaborated on rapid-prototyping of IoT products/services. The Project Arena platform shared knowledge between HE, companies and other stakeholders. In each IoT Proto-Lab pilot a student-centred team rapidly set-up, trialed and tested an innovative IoT solution for their clients. Throughout the project, student teams were supported by faculty, business partners and client company staff.

<< Results >>

‘The IoT Curriculum Guidelines – How to design an interdisciplinary IoT curriculum’. The guidelines areto be used for any IoT course if it involves an interdisciplinary design (design, data and device) and/or international collaboration. 18 pilot projects to create and validate the Guidelines for IoT Curriculum. Students’ skills and knowledge in interdisciplinary IoT product development. New or improved IoT courses. Over 60 dissemination activities + Arena. Networks with academia and business.
