GlobalInstitute, the IoT will have an estimated market size of up to $11.1 Trillion per year in 2025 andbe a prominent source for new hires in the engineering field 4.However, the growth of IoT is outpacing the current workforce with necessary knowledge andskills. According to research from Gartner, insufficient staffing and lack of expertise is the top-cited barrier for organizations currently looking to implement and benefit from IoT 5. Forexample, due to the rapid change in IoT field, wireless companies are having difficulty findingthe entry-level graduates with sufficient education to make an immediate contribution in thedesign and development of IoT solutions 6.

enhancing the laboratory experience and student satisfaction utilizing tools mosthigher education institutions have available.IntroductionTraditionally, laboratory learning has been approached using a constructivist style, withinstructors acting as facilitators to help students perform procedures and, ideally, gainingconceptual knowledge along the way. This approach has a valuable place in science education,where it is imperative that students develop a set of complex skills that are often taught bysimulating authentic research.2 Most laboratory protocols expect students to meet a certain levelof preparation before entering the laboratory. Research suggests that advance preparation is aneffective way to promote student learning and interest in the
