(WSNs) are possibly one of the most important technologies of thiscentury and have the potential to make human life more comfortable. WSNs have emerged as aneffective solution applied to a wide array of problems. The increasing popularity of WSN hasmotivated computer engineering programs to provide students with a foundation in the area. Inorder to integrate wireless sensor networks concepts into our computer engineering curriculum,we have decided to integrate wireless sensor concepts in our Embedded Systems Design IIcourse. A requirement for this course is to write a research paper on the topic of Wireless SensorNetworks. As a result of this assignment, many students have started to do their senior designproject on this subject. This paper

The loose structure andstudent-focused characteristics of these non-traditional learning sites fosters this studentautonomy in a more viable way than traditional learning sites can offer.26 Another explanationfor the strength of observed student autonomy might be the authenticity of the engineeringproblems students work with, an authenticity that is typically missing in traditional learningsites.1 These non-traditional learning experiences offers students “navigational flexibility” withan inflexible engineering curriculum, which in turn offers an opportunity for students to valuethe larger contributions and impact of their learning experiences beyond simply attaining agrade.1Although it is evident that self
