Write an essay outlining your previous research and/or practical experience, why did you choose KFUPM for graduate studies, and your intended academic and research interests in your graduate program at KFUPM. Below is the master’s program description.As the world is quickly turning digital, Internet of Things (IoT) is emerging as a key driver of the 4th industrial revolution and an indispensable tool in today’s economy, for both industrial and homes applications. This multidisciplinary program is designed to prepare professionals to master the quickly expanding field of IoT. It aims to ensure a comprehensive exposure and deep understanding of all elements of IoT, from embedded and real-time systems all the way to the cloud, in order for graduates to take full advantage of this rapidly growing job market.This program provides a full coverage of all topics related to the Internet of Things (IoT), including smart systems (sensors and actuators, performance characteristics, feedback control, data acquisition, embedded systems, etc.), regular and industrial IoT (design and architecture, wireless personal area networks, low power wide area networks, machine-to-machine and machine to-cloud communication, process control systems, industrial control systems. cyber-physical systems, digital twins, etc.), and internet and cloud computing (data centers and cloud services, mobile and web applications, RESTful APIs, XaaS pyramid, etc.). The programs also covers embedded software engineering (embedded system architectures, programming and implementation guidelines, optimizing for memory and power, etc.), real-time systems (concurrency and timing, thread synchronization, inter-task communication, etc.). Moreover, the programs also covers IoT security (encryption, certificates, anonymity, blockchain and credential management systems, vulnerabilities, etc.), and big data analytics (smart clouds, machine learning and visualization of big data, privacy, etc.).I attached the CV. Please mention the benefit of combining Electrical Engineering (Bachelor) with IoT (Master) and how I can contribute to the technology 4th revolution.
