Center for IoT Engineering & Innovation
The Center for IOT Engineering and Innovation, CIEI’s mission is to enable and facilitate the research and development of IoT solutions for a wide range of domains, from environmental monitoring to water management, from smart farming to smart agriculture, frome intelligent transportation to smart cities and many more. The CIEI developed and managed Platform for IoT Open Networks (PITON) provides communities, researchers, educators, and students the tools needed to develop, test, and manage IoT solutions. PITON’s footprint covers over 1,000 square miles of Eastern North Carolina and is rapidly growing.
We believe innovation resides at the intersection of community needs, researcher curiosity, and student enthusiasm. Through PITON and our expertise, CIEI provides the technologies needed to bring bright ideas to life.
Join an expanding community of innovators, be part of a growing portfolio of projects, change the quality of life and the economic opportunities for your community and those of others.

Upcoming Events
P2 Webinar Series – Common misconceptions about per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and sustainability.
Join us for an upcoming webinar on PFAS with Dr. Jamie DeWitt, Director, Pacific Northwest Center for Translational Environmental Health Research and Professor, Environmental and Molecular Toxicology, Oregon State University. Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are synthetic chemicals used in many industrial applications and consumer products as they have chemical-physical properties that make them useful as starting materials, surfactants, surface protectants, and more. However, some of the chemical-physical properties that make them useful in processes and products are properties that lead to their environmental persistence and mobility, bioaccumulation potential, and toxicity. This presentation will overview these PFAS characteristics of concern and highlight an approach known as the essential use concept that can guide decision making about whether or not to use PFAS or to purchase products containing PFAS.
