Abstract

This paper presents an experience report of the development of a teaching project, entitled "Internet of Things as a multidisciplinary learning platform", and a case study of the artifacts resulting in an integrated project course. This project provided technical-didactic material discussing the Internet of Things, integrating hardware/software/ communication. Thus, the students were exposed to advanced and practical concepts in the second semester of the Computer Engineering course at the Federal University of Espírito Santo. Through an intrinsic motivation test, we observed a high level of interest and self-confidence among students to perform the course's tasks.

Keywords: Internet of Thing, Integration projects, Intrinsic motivation index
