, midterm examinations, and the final examination. Final grades are thencomputed as a weighted average of the objective assessment scores.Before the introduction of SBG, the course was taught using a traditional “chalk-and-talk”lecture style. Homework discussion sessions were offered on a weekly basis. Interactivemodules for convolution and Fourier series signal and system analysis were developed [17] asadditional homework assignments. The course was graded based on homework scores, midtermexam scores, and the final exam score. Students would have only been aware of theirperformance on a course concept by identifying the concept(s) involved with a homework orexam problem and comparing their score to the standard institutional grading scale.After

Asengineering educators, it is imperative that we strive to constantly update course content anddelivery mechanisms to reflect the rapidly changing innovations in technology. This workdocuments our experience in designing and implementing IoT-based enhancements to ourEmbedded Systems course, for two consecutive years. The fall 2017 project focused on voicecontrol of robots, while the fall 2018 project was centered on hand-based gesture control.

Typically, much of the “training” inteamwork is experiential - students may be given some theoretical framework(s) forunderstanding what is going on, but learning seems to happen during actual project work.Assessment of teamwork is non-trivial and tends to rely heavily on peer assessment, such as useof CATME [17]. It is also difficult to provide timely feedback to teams unless an instructor isoverseeing all of the student teams on a daily basis.
