universal serial bus (usb), connecting to the Internet via Ethernet port or WiFi. Theseexamples are the basis to help us design course projects. Students have shown great interests inthese new course topics and are capable of developing IoT relevant capstone projects for homeautomation by the end of the course.This paper presents our ongoing work of teaching advanced IoT technologies to electrical andcomputer engineering students, with the emphasis of how we develop the lab projects by usingTI’s latest Connected Launchpad EK-TMC1294XL and its associated software packages. Anoverview of IoT technologies including its evolution is first briefly introduced. Then, the coursedescription including the learning outcomes and lecture and lab contents is

throughout the curriculum, and while they occasionallystand alone in one course (e.g. fundamentals of speech communication or intro topsychology), they are often merged into each of the core courses that are critical to theHCDD major. These core courses fall into three categories: Learning studios, Experiencestudios, and Capstone experience.We envision the Learning studios to be project-based courses where students of relativelythe same skill level work collaboratively under a professor’s close supervision. Theprojects are set up so that the students’ learning experience meets specific learningoutcomes. During their undergraduate tenure, students would take four different learningstudios. Each learning studio combines at least three of the six

personal engagement in assignments (3.69) o Provided personal satisfaction in completing assignments (3.68) • On a scale of 1 to 5, students reported that the labs in the course impacted their motivation and confidence for their capstone design project or career most in the following ways: o Increased self-directed learning skills (3.76) o Provided motivation for performing well in project tasks and responsibilities (3.67) o Influenced confidence that the design project or career is within their abilities (3.5)Open answer responses over all 3 semesters revealed a range of student thoughts andperspectives. The majority of the individual responses affirmed the course

follow the sameformat as the other items on the survey.The survey included a number of items about students’ perceived ability to use the practicalsoftware taught using the simulation such as “Do you feel confident using Microsoft Excel?”; “Ifyou were asked to complete a project using Microsoft Excel, would you feel: comfortable?;prepared?; confident?; able to complete the project?” This allowed the researchers to betterunderstand the students’ perceived ability to effectively complete activities using the targetsoftware.The survey also included items that asked about student prior experience with Excel, how oftenthey used MyITLab, if they attended the Exam Review lecture, and if they felt MyITLabprepared them for the exam. These items were
