The use of specific hardware and the Application Programing Interface (API) are incorporated into a methodology for the study of the Internet of Things (IoT) from the point of view of electronic, computing, communication and data base design. Selected courses in one semester of the curricula of the student career are grouped and create a task force is created to achieve a final project. Topics covered in this semester are: sensors and actuators, microcontrollers architecture, analog electronic design, and social entrepreneurship. The proposed final project implements the knowledge of each course and incorporates some specific elements of the IoT environment. The final project is always supervised by the professors of the semester and by a guest company that collaborates in the observations of details in the implementation of the final product during the design and development time. The guest company designates two or three specific engineers in their area of information technology or logistics to join the students for three specific weeks of the semester. The results observed in the application of this methodology shows a high impact in the understanding of the theory and improvement in the circuit design capabilities from the conceptual description to final product.
