The course ?IoT in Sustainability Management? provides students with insight into the growing importance of the Internet of Things (IoT) in the context of sustainable development. The program focuses on the theoretical foundations of IoT, its architecture, and key technologies that enable its widespread use in various areas of environmental management. Students will learn how IoT contributes to efficient resource management, optimization of energy consumption, and the creation of smart cities, all while considering the ethical and legal aspects related to technologies. Emphasis is placed on data analysis, system security, and the integration of IoT with sustainable development goals. In addition to the theoretical framework, this course also provides space for the application and development of IoT through a practical seminar, where students can apply their knowledge to real-world problems and case studies in sustainability. The goal of the course is not only to provide students with technological and theoretical foundations but also to equip them with the ability to critically think about the potential impact and use of IoT within global sustainability goals. The course concludes with a final project, where students have the opportunity to design their own solutions focused on specific challenges in the field of IoT and sustainability.
