JRU Academic Advisory Board: representing the IoT industry in curriculum review

We joined the Academic Advisory Board Meeting at Jose Rizal University to review the engineering curriculum and make sure LoRaWAN and IoT in the Philippines are accessible to students and academe.

We recently participated in the Academic Advisory Board Meeting at Jose Rizal University (JRU), representing the Internet of Things industry. The collaboration is a significant step in aligning academic curricula with the fast-evolving needs of the technology sector, and in making LoRaWAN in the Philippines accessible to students and academe.

Bridging academia, IoT, and LoRaWAN in the Philippines

Industry–academia partnerships shape the future of engineering education and the adoption of emerging technologies like LoRaWAN. By reviewing JRU's engineering curriculum, we aimed to ensure students graduate with the skills and knowledge the current job market demands.

Curriculum alignment

  • Reviewing the existing syllabus
  • Identifying gaps in IoT and AI education
  • Suggesting updates to incorporate emerging technologies
  • Proposing practical, industry-relevant projects

Preparing for the future

With connected IoT devices growing into the tens of billions globally, it is crucial that engineering students are well-versed in the technology. LoRaWAN adoption in the Philippines is accelerating, and our involvement helps keep JRU's curriculum competitive and aligned with industry trends.

Impact on students

  • Exposure to real LoRaWAN applications
  • Improved employability in the tech sector
  • Stronger innovation and entrepreneurship skills

We are committed to nurturing the next generation of Filipino tech innovators — bridging the gap between academia and industry for both students and the wider IoT sector.
