CPS engineers need to possess both technical and social skills to run CPS-engineering projects successfully. Especially social skills are crucial as the project fails are mostly caused because of lacking social skills of project members. Besides strong social skills, CPS engineers need to have a wide range of various technical skills as the products they deal with are getting increasingly complex integrating hardware, software and some kinds of communication mechanism with their environment. Students studying CPS engineering need to be well prepared for their future jobs. Therefore, they need to get an opportunity to face with realistic project situations. In this work we describe our experience gathered during the first run of a CPS engineering course based on a novel task-centric holistic agile teaching approach (T-CHAT).
