TERRATECH - masTERs course on smArt Agriculture TECHnologies

Over the past 5 years the Industry 4.0 revolution managed to rapidly transform all major industrial sectors, including the agricultural domain. At the pinnacle of this revolution the Internet of Things (IoT), providing a network of physical “smart” interconnected devices that exchange & process data without (or with minimal) human intervention. The availability & affordability of this new technology allowed the development of a range of services from new data fusion analytic tools to the development of advance networking systems. The masTERs course on smArt Agriculture TECHnologies (TERRATECH) project aims to develop an advanced interactive MSc course related to Agriculture IoT Engineering that will train individuals with the necessary skills & knowledge to work in the rising “Smart Agriculture” industry. The course is also formulated to stimulate transversal competences such as the increased sense of initiative & entrepreneurship. The course is designed to follow the European Credit Transfer & Accumulation System (ECTS) credit standards for certification recognition across the EU.The novel curriculum consists of interactive teaching methods & partnerships with expert academic & agricultural organizations in order to give to the students a solid background for starting a fruitful career in the industry.
