As the Internet, in due course, developed, more and more computing devices became connected, in particular mobile devices. The Internet of Things (IoT) is emerging and well underway, and the majority of internet traffic will be dominated by things rather than by computers built to fit the needs of humans. Scientists, entrepreneurs and innovators are seeking to make the world a better place by addressing real and demanding problems by leveraging the Internet of Things.

Summer interns will work with university faculty, scientists and researchers who guide through the summer experience, and essentially receive considerable direction from their supervisors. The internship is intended to motivate students both domestic and overseas to explore machine-to-machine (M2M) and IoT research, and the goal is to help students understand challenges and opportunities in incorporating everything around us into the Internet of Things which collectively improve our daily lives in all aspects.
