“…The scale of the interconnectedness of IoT device networks, and the plethora of user-facing, real-world IoT applications lend themselves to several cyber vulnerabilities and associated attack vectors. We note that despite significant literature published about cybersecurity educational efforts in K-12 and universities, the literature on incorporating cybersecurity topics for IoT education is only recently starting to gain momentum [103]- [106]. Broadly speaking, IoT systems can be considered cyber-physical systems (CPS); thus any topical coverage of CPS cybersecurity is relevant to IoT education.…”

The exponentially growing Internet of Things (IoT) market presents compelling opportunities for innovators to develop and create meaningful applications affecting everyday life. This shifting IoT paradigm is placing new demands on educational institutions to train students with IoT-relevant skills. Numerous education researchers continue to document the implementation of IoT-based curriculum, pedagogy, and assessment techniques for STEM education. In this paper, we systematically reviewed this literature and identified 60 journal articles and conference papers that have reported implementing IoT curriculum and associated instructional approaches, educational technologies, and assessment strategies for K-12 and university students. The curriculum, pedagogy, and assessment strategies presented in these studies were analyzed in the context of the sensing, networking, services, and interface layers of the IoT technology paradigm. The review identifies best educational practices and synthesizes actionable strategies for educators to implement effective IoT learning experiences for students. These strategies leverage low-cost IoT hardware, open-source IoT software, active learning-based instructional approaches, and direct/indirect assessment methods. As IoT education becomes increasingly pervasive, the review and strategies provided in this paper may serve as a guide for future educational efforts.

“…Education should help students obtain the ability, independence, and skills to analyze problems effectively, search for helpful information for reference, design a path to resolution, and, more importantly, take action [9]. In the case of telecommunications, practical training should supplement traditional theoretical education [17]. Presentations of practical tools help students relate the knowledge gained through theoretical lectures to real‐world knowledge.…”

5G and 6G represent next‐generation communication technologies that provide high spectral and energy efficiency, low latency, and massive connectivity due to extensive growth in Internet‐of‐Things devices. Their impact on the quality of life will be significant and enable them to shape modern society's future. The intensive network softwarization and cloudification represent leading drivers for future core network development. Therefore, educational institutions must respond quickly and ensure these technologies' easy and rapid adoption. It is necessary to introduce new approaches to engineers' education, shifting the focus from traditional network technologies toward more programmable network concepts based on network softwarization and cloudification. Our research goal has been to develop and implement a course while focusing on conceiving technical and pedagogical solutions to provide high‐quality education. We have used globally available APIs, tools, and open‐source software to achieve deeper student involvement in our course. We have evaluated our approach by surveying students at the School of Computing, Union University of Belgrade. The results indicate students' high satisfaction with the proposed course. At the same time, they reveal specific problems that affect the effective acceptance of knowledge from certain areas covered in the course. Finally, we have prepared a list of guidelines for teaching courses of 5G/6G core.

“…In the first category, Glantz, et al paper [1] highlighted that training so far has only focused on "traditional" cybersecurity that lightly touches on wireless in undergraduate. They encouraged curricular development that includes critical wireless security hands-on (experiential) training.…”
