Abstract :
We foresee an increase in communicating sensor systems, that we call Sensible Things that Communicate (STC). These systems range from simple powerless systems for monitoring temperature to complex imaging systems for control or classification. In this paper, we present the curriculum and pedagogical methods used in a master´s programme developed to meet the requirements that STC systems put on a designer. The goal for the programme has been to encourage the students to acquire knowledge from completing practical design cases, of industrial or academic interest. This has shown to be an effective method to learn and motivate the students.
