Smart engineering education: The ontology of Internet-of-Things applications

Abstract

The performed analysis of the current smart systems, smart technology, smart devices and their applications in education clearly shows that a combination of Smart Learning concept and Internet-of-Things innovative technology will be a dominant paradigm of learning in upcoming 5–15 years. This paper presents the up-to-date findings and outcomes of research, design and development project aimed to identify the ontology of Internet-of-Things applications in smart engineering education — concepts, levels of "smartness", components, features, and functions.
