From agriculture to manufacturing��supply chains, retail to healthcare jobs, IoT devices, infrastructure and applications can improve efficiency, reduce costs and��. Here are just a few areas where it’s making a difference.

s��by providing students with access to information and resources. For example, IoT devices can automate mundane tasks like attendance tracking and scheduling, freeing up time for teachers to focus on instruction rather than paperwork.

The IoT and IoT devices are revolutionizing healthcare work in several fascinating ways.��:

• IoT tools and wearable technology for remote patient monitoring to help provide continuous care
• Smart beds with sensor technology that responds to patient movement and adjusts positioning and pressure as needed
• ��that detect ingestion and provide information about the pill’s location

IoT technologies are equally transformative in the infrastructure of the agricultural sector.��, for example, employs IoT technologies like GPS-guided tractors and drones that monitor and manage crops. These IoT devices collect data��on crop health, soil conditions and more, allowing farmers to make data-driven decisions.

Manufacturing is another sector experiencing a transformation via IoT devices. A notable example is the����where IoT sensors on machinery monitor performance, detect malfunctions and predict maintenance needs. This visibility leads to better planning, reduces waste and increases efficiency throughout the supply chain.

As businesses become smarter and more connected, they’ll need dedicated career professionals working in computing and programming roles involving IoT projects, technologies and processes. IoT career roles may be available in the following sectors:

Data analysts gather information from different sources, study it, synthesize it and use their findings to increase the efficiency and profitability of companies.

Primary responsibilities include:

• Collecting data from primary and secondary sources and maintaining databases
• Analyzing and interpreting complex data to identify patterns, trends and insights
• Creating visualizations, reports and presentations for business stakeholders

A Bachelor of Science in Data Science helps students gain a comprehensive understanding of data analysis techniques, statistics and related software tools.

A data scientist, or research scientist, uses analytical, statistical and programming skills to interpret large data sets for valuable insights.

A��include:

1. Gathering, categorizing and analyzing complex data, which may include IoT sources
2. Creating, testing, updating and validating algorithms and predictive machine learning models
3. Using data visualization software to illustrate their findings in an easy-to-understand way

As of May 2023, data scientists��, with a median wage of $108,020, according to BLS.

If becoming a data scientist interests you, BLS reports����in��mathematics, statistics, computer science, or a related field. However, some employers may be interested in applicants with a relevant master's degree.
