Curricular information is subject to change.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a technology that demands a new generation of Engineers equipped with a broad range of skills spanning the areas of electronics, programming & computer science.  The Bachelor of Engineering (BE) degree in the Internet of Things Engineering (IoTE) provides this through an intensive program of learning that covers a broad spectrum of subjects delivered jointly between the schools of computer science and electrical & electronic engineering.  Students undertake a substantial final year project that draws together many of the separate strands of their degree and has a particular emphasis on independent learning, problem solving and communication skills.  The program focus is primarily on the fundamental technological principles and Engineering problem-solving so that our graduates will be able to adapt to future technology changes and to provide leadership in exploring new directions in the field.



The program, while mainly based in the BJUT campus in Beijing, is globally engaged being taught almost entirely through English with the majority of technical subjects being delivered by recognised international experts drawn the staff of University College Dublin (UCD) Ireland. This experience is further enhanced for the highest achieving students who have the option to spend a time studying in UCD’s campus in Dublin.


1 - A good working knowledge of electronic systems and their place in the emerging world of the IoT
2 - An good understanding of internet related communication protocols
3 - The ability to analyse and design electronic circuits
4 - The ability to design & program complex software software system including object oriented methodologies
5 - A good understand and ability to design heterogeneous systems involving both hardware and software
6 - The ability to work as a professional engineer, either alone or as part of team in a project environment
7 - The ability to acquire knowledge by research, investigation and experiment
