Initial research comprised a literature review into the origins, growth, challenges and enabling technologies for the IoT. Furthermore, literature around IoT within the current curriculum and for industrial designers and graduates was explored. Whilst this work considers the possibilities and capabilities through various visions and methods of application, the fundamentals of the technical side are considered in order to understand these possibilities for the IoT as a subject.  \nA mixed-method approach was designed which used a structured questionnaire survey for industrial design students and interviews with design lecturers. The results revealed a majority agreement into the need and interest for Industrial Design Curriculum to incorporate IoT subject matter, however, with much debate and discussion into how this may be envisioned. The work concludes with implementation through a mixed approach to teaching microcontroller design applications combined with projectled problem based learning allowing students to combine their design skills into product concepts and prototypes in order to realise and develop the future Internet of Things.  \nKey words  \nInternet of Things, Industrial Design, Design Education, Smart Objects.  \n1 INTRODUCTION  \nThe Internet of Things (IoT) is a relatively new concept which has stimulated much discussion over the last decade into its meaning, scope and more importantly the barriers to its widespread adoption. As the concept of IoThas become more popular then there may be justification  \nFigure 1: Mimo Baby Monitor (Source: Mimo, 2015)  \nfor teaching it in higher education. The purpose of this research was to explore the possibilities of incorporating methods of the application of the IoT into the industrial design curriculum. The main objective of the work was to identify whether there is a need to incorporate the Internet of Things. As such, this work sought to explore the understanding, concepts and driving factors of the IoT and how it may offer opportunities and applications for industrial design students. The underlying research questions comprised:  \n• Does the IoT offer employment/career opportunities within Industrial Design?  \n• Should we address the IoT in our technology modules within Industrial Design?  \n• What platforms for IoT development should be used in teaching?  \nThese research questions were addressed through a combination of research approaches, primarily, through an extant review of literature into the IoT which examined growth and scope, goals, visions and applications and enabling technologies driving this growth. This work then explored how the IoT is currently understood in design education and opportunities that IoT may have for design graduates. Further research has been undertaken in the form of primary data from both questionnaires from industrial design students and interviews with industrial design lecturers which was analysed and discussed.  \n2 LITERATURE REVIEW  \n2.1 The Internet of Things (IoT)  \nThe Internet of Things (IoT), also referred to as physical or ubiquitous computing (McEwen & Cassimally, 2014), is a subject with no agreed underlying definition as the possible applications and visions are yet to be entirely explored.
