Abstract :
This paper outlines experiences in bringing up a course with significant sensing and actuating capabilities, on top of the already existing infrastructure support for training embedded wireless system design. The role of the suitable development platform, design kits and the lab experiments is outlined, and the expected outcomes are highlighted. We emphasize the role of scaffolding principle, which now does not only apply to the single course, but also to our overall experience in developing such courses.
