expected. However, the workloads were judged to be heavy as the studentswere required to not only become familiar with the idea of a real-time operating system, but werealso being asked (some for the first time) to implement a complex hardware system on a shorttimetable. The students during this term dealt with high stress levels as they moved deeper intothe material. For some students, the high stress situations led to a stronger work ethic and anincreased sense of team responsibility. For others, it deepened the divide between members oftheir team who seemed more ahead of the curve and members who seemed to be lagging behindor not pulling their weight. This had an obvious impact on the final product that was eventuallydelivered. During

exercise their thinking. Depending on the focus of the questions, thestudents may be more motivated to investigate the subject matter, may gain a deeperunderstanding of course concepts, or may improve their skills through hands-on experience usingthe knowledge in problem solving and design derived from the exercises. There are many waysof using class exercises in the classroom setting. For a small class size, the teacher may simplyuse an exercise to engage students in discussion and hands-on practice. For larger classes, thestudents can be assigned to small groups using the class exercise as an instrument leading togroup projects. Woods and Howard [8] effectively used class exercises for InformationTechnology students to study ethical issues. Day

onlineplatform could assist with initiating conversations among potential team members and help makethe in-person class sessions more efficient. Thus this work corroborates the decision to implementtools to gauge student interest and list skill sets for better team formation.Faculty at the Franklin W. Olin College have determined that teamwork and team dynamics arecrucial for ensuring a satisfactory Capstone Design experience 7 . Their overall process of teambuilding and formation is very similar to the process followed in this work. They take intoaccount not just student preferences for projects on a 5 scale rating, but also use GPA as ameasure of work ethic, while the authors also use the students skill set. They determine that theinitial teaming

Stevens IT has modified the Software Engineering Curriculum toemphasize the technical competencies required for Cyber Physical systems and IoT softwareengineering21. Mullett described an Internet of Everything course which addresses microprocessors,microcontrollers, hardware theory, software programming, operating systems and interfacinghardware and controllers to the real world23. This course was taught with the Arduino Unomicrocontroller for interfacing to the sensors and the Raspberry Pi 2 microprocessor for webinterface. The course was taught at a community college and influenced students to becomemakers and
