Level 2 builds directly on the foundations established in Level 1, advancing participants into engineering-grade IoT development.

The focus shifts to:

• STM32 microcontrollers
• Professional embedded C programming
• LoRaWAN network configuration
• Custom PCB design and prototyping.

Participants begin working with the same tools and workflows used by professional IoT engineers in industry.

Level 1 establishes the foundations; Level 2 transforms those foundations into real engineering capability. This level is essential for anyone seeking to move beyond hobbyist prototyping into scalable, deployable IoT solutions. It introduces industry-standard tools and hardware engineering workflows that are directly applicable in manufacturing, agriculture, energy, and industrial sectors.

• Develops advanced embedded systems engineering skills using STM32
• Introduces PCB design, layout, and hardware prototyping
• Enables deployment of long-range LoRaWAN communication networks
• Builds debugging, systems integration, and cloud connectivity skills
• Provides practical exposure to industrial IoT architectures
• Positions participants for product-level development in Level 3

Graduates of Level 2 are equipped for roles including:

• IoT Engineer
• Embedded Systems Engineer
• PCB Design Engineer
• Firmware Developer
• Automation Engineer
• Industrial IoT Technician
• Smart Agriculture Systems Developer
• Hardware Prototyping Engineer
• Research & Development Engineer

• Graduates of Level 1 (required)
• Engineering students and graduates (Electrical, Mechatronics, Mechanical, Computer)
• Software developers expanding into embedded hardware
• Technical professionals in automation or IoT-adjacent industries
• Innovators and product developers seeking hardware engineering capability
