For example, Felder et al. [10] concluded activelearning teaching methods are effective, such as the ‘jigsaw’ method previously mentioned inthis paper, which was echoed by several SEEFs sharing their experiences when using thisteaching method. While the topics each SEEF seeks to help undergraduates master are verydifferent (relatively, as they all belong to Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM)disciplines), the pedagogy they use form a common set of methods and tools used to facilitatestudents’ learning.

This approach allows students to be self-paced, have more control over their grade,attempt tests multiple times, and master foundational content more deeply

These sensor modules are equipped with the low-cost wireless engine tocommunicate with the master fusion node and log various movement events on to thecomputer/server. The computer can initiate lightening or appliance control based on the past-learned events from the distributed sensors. The distributed sensor network not only optimize theenergy usage but also it can allow a better statistical view of a public/private building usage withsecured and privacy-protective human surveillance.
