Disruptive engineering training and education based on the Internet of Things

Disruptive technology [Christensen, 1995], engineering training, and education experiments are described, compared, and evaluated. The experiments have been derived using two innovative drivers: (1) the Internet of Things [Ashton, 1999]; and (2) Service Science [Spohrer, 2008]. The presented training and education platforms offer a low cost solution facilitating education for both teachers and students from anywhere to anywhere at any time. An IOT based computer prototype is developed and verified in both training and education settings. IOT access allows access to lab and libraries fundamental for the roadmap toward certification and accreditation. Quality Assurance is employed.
