We discuss someof the pedagogical strategies elsewhere [3], [4].In this paper we focus on the content issues in the course, particularly as they relate to the task ofgetting students to master fundamental concepts in dynamics. In our design, we wanted toaddress the following observations that we have made about students in traditional learningenvironments in Dynamics: • Students are typically introduced to vectors but fail to develop facility using vector notation (especially direct notation) as a tool to derive or process equations. In some texts, vector notation is viewed

All applicable adjectives were written down to form a large list.Once articles with relevant terms were scoured, the adjectives were combined into a master list.From the master, we took out words that were not relevant to careers, edited some terms to makethem more understandable, and added a few relevant terms we thought of ourselves. At thispoint, the master list contained about 250 adjectives.The list was then given to the Psychology Research Network. The Network was made up offaculty and

The operational principle of BLE is based on thetopology of its communication network in which there are two roles that a device can play, thatof master or slave.
