thatmaximizes battery life and may need to use machine learning in order to make sense of themassive amounts of data that deployments can generate. Computer engineers interested increating IoT devices must have an advanced understanding of firmware programming and radiocommunication to create smart devices that communicate with low power usage. Others (e.g.,biologists, civil engineers, mechanical engineers) who want to use IoT for special projects theymay have in mind need to understand the challenges and limitations of the technology and thewireless communication space in order to design systems accordingly. Currently, few courses onIoT are offered nationwide. There is a strong need for more. This paper describes a project-based, pilot IoT course

understanding that an HDL is not a programming language.Ebeling and French attempt to help students by creating an HDL, Abstract Verilog, with“well-defined, clean parallel execution semantics” 29 . Vemuru et. al. propose a spiral model ofteaching where HDL pedagogy is intertwined with topics and is slowly built up with complexityover time 30 . As pointed out by Kumar et. al. 31 the HDL and tool flow is an industrial tool used byprofessional engineers that should be included in undergraduate education.From our own experience integrating Verilog into a second year digital system course, studentshave a tough time with Verilog due to its C or Java like syntax (which they model in their mind assequential executing language). Our approach is to have students
