Educating the future engineer towards realizing the powering of the future internet

Abstract

The increasing role of the internet in society and enterprise necessitates that future engineers be trained in aspects enabling continued internet access in different contexts. An important context in this regard is that of training future engineers to be proficient in the aspect of integrating renewable energy technologies into the cloud data center. The cloud data center plays an important role in hosting content and enabling content access. However, this aspect has not received sufficient attention in the design of suitable teaching approaches with a focus on students in Electronics and Computer Engineering. The discussion here addresses this problem and proposes novel approaches to deriving a multi-disciplinary curriculum and conducting interactive content delivery sessions. The multi-disciplinary curriculum is designed using the proposed approach of module descriptive programming. The interactive content delivery session is realized via the proposed approach of the classroom which fuses content on lecturer and student perspectives.
