We forsee an increase in communicating sensor systems, that we call Sensible Things that Communicate (STC). These systems range from simple powerless 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 program has been to encurage the students to acquire knowlege from completing practical design cases, of industrial or academic interest. This has shown to be an effective method to learn an motivate the students.
