Abstract

Including dispositions and skills in computing curricula is beginning to take root in education circles. These two dimensions complement the knowledge dimension to form an understanding of competency taken in context. In a parallel movement, the Internet of Everything (IoE) is an emerging area of learning that focuses on the interaction between people and machines (things) involving data and processes on the internet. It is time, therefore, to channel student studies toward a competency-based IoE curriculum. This work attempts to initiate a discussion on this goal by proposing a “Draft 0” curriculum on the IoE that reflects competency, where students prepare to enter the workplace upon graduation. The proposed curriculum intends to stimulate discussion and garner more significant insight into developing a competency-based study plan on the Internet of Everything.
