Abstract
Bringing the excitement and challenges of active research into the classroom offers unique learning experiences. This is particularly true for undergraduate students not otherwise exposed to the processes, methods, and results of research. Designing and delivering such a course, however, presents many challenges. In this article, we describe our recent experience co-teaching a multi-institutional course in smart home technologies. From our experience and analysis of student evaluations, we offer a number of lessons learned and recommendations.
