CBIA BizCast host Ali Warshavsky speaks with Gordo Hui and Michael Roy of Hartford Steam Boiler about the new Internet of Things lab the company is sponsoring at the University of Hartford.

Hisham Alnajjar, the school’s dean of engineering, technology, and architecture, joins the conversation to explain the doors the lab will open for students.

The IoT lab opened in August inside the university's new advanced engineering building. Roy said the lab gives students practical learning experiences related to sensors, connectivity, and data analysis.

“This opportunity allows us to expose a whole new generation of engineers to opportunities in engineering beyond what they may have come in with preconceived notions of working designing cars,” said Roy, vice president of engineering at HSB.
