Abstract

The new curricula of the electronics specialty, either in formal secondary education (3rd class of vocational high schools) or in non-formal classes (apprenticeship in VET), will use and study sensors operating in IoT environments. Since the operating standards of the Internet of Things (IoT) sensors are totally different from the basic types of sensors currently taught in the specialties of VET, this article studies this curriculum transition. In particular, a new updated method of teaching sensor technologies in Vocational Education and Training (VET) in Greece, based on the perspective of IoT, is presented. The proposed scenario consists of a theoretical approach as well as of a laboratory practice with equipment supporting the IoT framework. © 2019 IEEE.
