This paper is an experiential report describing the faculty and student experiences and knowledge gained from developing an Internet of Things (IoT) course within an Information Technology (IT) Department at a large southeastern United States public university. The paper contributes insights gained developing the introductory IoT course, and it recommends the inclusion of IoT technology within an IT curriculum due to its disruptive and transformative nature. Many industries are deploying IoT applications making it imperative that IT graduates have the knowledge and skills needed to work with this emerging technology. The faculty leveraged the use of the ADDIE (Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate) Instructional Design Model to develop a pilot course in the summer of 2022 and then, based on the pilot feedback and analysis using ADDIE, refined the course design for spring 2023. The continuing course development draws on IT undergraduate curricula guidelines in "Information Technology Curricula 2017 (IT2017)," research into how industry uses IoT applications, and the use of hands-on educational technologies to identify and apply IoT knowledge and skills needed for IT graduates. The pervasive nature of IoT requires IoT faculty to have knowledge of each of the IT Pillars (programming, networking, human-computer interaction, databases, and web systems) as well as the IT Supplemental IoT Domain guidelines developed in "IT2017."
