naturally develop an aptitude for electronics. Why is this thecase today? Some would argue that at an early age, today’s youth see the need and relevance, forexample, of operating the TV remote or video game joystick. Youngsters, therefore, identify with andembrace the idea that technology is a necessary part of their daily lives. Thus, without much thought oreven detailed instructions in some cases, they seem to be able to master a wide range of technology-basedand relevant operations. The desire to be able to play a video game, or record a TV program for laterviewing, instills a precise or particular imprint that causes a young person to be motivated to learn. Thus,the capacity for youngsters to be able to apply complex principles at an early age

Quality in-class exercisesand interactive activities can increase student enthusiasm for the material; providechallenge; improve the students’ understanding of concepts; open up opportunities forpeer-to-peer learning, and create opportunities for introducing open ended designproblems that reinforce and

reason to maintain currency with the course material.For several years, three midterms and a final examination were used as the assessment methods inthis course. However, discussions with students and observation of their behavior called intoquestion the effectiveness of this methodology. Students tended to do much of the weeklyhomework assignments, but then did not think much about the course material until the midtermexam. Then, students tended to cram – putting in a lot of study work into a very short time, andtrying to recall and re-master about 30% of the course content in the space of a night or two.This was due, in part, to the workload placed on students during the term when they most typicallytake this Strength of Materials course.

Ultimately thedecision was made to utilize Bluetooth, which could easily be configured to acceptcommunication from wireless third party devices such as a laptop or tablet. When researchingArduino Bluetooth shields, it was discovered that the majority operated only in slave mode. Thisentails the use of another Bluetooth device such as a smartphone or computer that would beneeded to act as the master node for the piconet.

liked being able to assess my own knowledge first before discussing in a group setting. It is really helpful to discuss concepts with peers. TBLs encourage me to keep up with lectures and they give me an idea of how much I know at that point. At first I was unsatisfied with the fact that my final grade would depend on my group, but in the end, I found that listening to others' ideas actually helped me understand the thought process behind answering some of the questions better. My favorite MoleCell activity, in retrospect, may have been the gRAT's; it was just somewhat fun and exciting to scratch off to find the right answer. The TBL sections helped me master the material and keep up-to-date on what we were learning in class. I would
