Abstract
The Saudi Vision 2030 plan is based on three pillars: the Kingdom's statues as a center for Arab and Islamic countries, stimulating the economy by diversifying revenues and taking advantage of the strategic location that makes the country a center of trade and gateway to the world. The initiative to establish the city of Neom emerges to achieve the objective of reducing the country's dependence on oil, diversifying its economy, and developing public services sectors. NEOM project focuses on several sectors such as energy and water, mobility, biotech, advanced manufacturing, and digital sciences. One of the main sustainability factors for a smart city as NEOM project is the human factor. It is important to qualify engineers to be able to operate and maintain digital technology such as internet of things applications and devices. In this article, we propose integrating the internet of things technology and applications into the electrical engineering education to introduce students to the future skills and enable them to participate in the sustainability of Saudi Vision 2030.
