The B.Eng Degree Programme at Savonia UAS aims at developing experts in information technology with the specialisation in Internet of Things. You learn to face continuous change at the global technology field and be sensitive to the requirements set by international partners. As a Savonia B.Eng you will become especially skilled in the application and service development in digital health and industrial internet sectors which makes you an asset for example to small and medium-sized companies going global. When you graduate, you are able to operate fluently in multicultural teams and guide your team towards objectives. Savonia B.Engs work in service and product design, research and sales and other international activities.
Each year has two assigned themes. During the first term of studies, the studies will cover issues in natural science, mathematics, physics and languages. This is done by working in cooperation with a partner organisation from the surrounding environment. The students will form teams around SMEs in cooperation with Savonia, and start getting to know the various phases needed for carrying out a project. These skills cover basic knowledge of different fields of ICT.
The second term continues with development of applications within IoT. The student gains a profound insight into the successful implementation of IoT applications. Students will go through team building phases and become familiar with multicultural working teams and methods. The students are also expected to apply ICT knowledge to practice within the partner organisation and to be able to share their understanding to fellow students. At the end of the year, the students will have a comprehensive understanding of the entire ICT systems of IoT as a foundation to develop their professional career.
During the second year studies the students will focus on essential internationalisation skills. First, the students will learn how to use the tools for software development and analysis in Big Data. Second, the students will put these skills and understanding into use, again together with local organisations, within the theme of preparing for training periods and projects.
The third year students will focus on adapting professional level tasks in programming and electronics, wireless and cloud technologies. As skills and understanding grow, the students perceive the evaluation and development of demanding IoT applications professionally. By this stage the students' management and leadership skills will grow to meet the demands of international level of profession.
Fourth year is reserved for the thesis, training and business intelligence possibilities of IoT. Skills are deepened in cloud computing and analytics. The skills gained in previous years are sharpened in the thesis and project work.
