Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify the feasibility of integrating the internet of things (IoT) in engineering education (EE) to promote environmental, social and economic sustainability. This purpose is explored through self-report surveys with 113 engineering educators in Thailand. Analysis relied on descriptive statistics and two-way ANOVA. Results revealed high feasibility of integration with less feasibility for social sustainability. There were no significant differences in relation to feasibility and demographic factors such as educators' years of experience and type of EE. Respondents identified factors that can promote the integration. These were grouped into the following categories: curricula and programs, instructor and student-related factors, administrative and policy factors and technology-related factors.
