For a simple client like the Arduino there seems to be no way to check the IPaddress assigned by the network, it can only respond to the IP address pre-assigned in its code.To resolve this problem, the team met again with the campus network administrators whothankfully agreed to allocating a static IP address to the Arduino’ s Wi-Fi card.Wi-Fi Connectivity Sequence ChartThe student tasked with wireless connectivity and information logging had no prior knowledgeof wireless

appropriate and immediate actions to correct them. Often, theobserved difficulties were very different from the instructor‟s expectations.The two negative results from the instructor-based observations, which suggested changes to bemade in the way we were using the strategy, concerned motivating students to prepare for classon a regular basis, and students‟ discomfort with the formative/summative assessment gradingscheme being used. These concerns were echoed in the Student Evaluation Surveys, taken of 62students in both courses at the end of the semester. A summary of the principal results of thesurvey follows: Perception of learning: 45 students (73%) felt that they learned more with team-based learning (as implemented) than

Thus asserting the view thatengineering faculty “with practical experience under their belt” would, in general,make better teachers.

participation resulted in a maturingof the course and expectations which has continued into the present. The overall effect of theprogram on design at UT Austin is detailed in a paper by Fowler, et.al. [2].During the early 1990’s the author also offered a graduate level spacecraft – mission designcourse. The graduate students produced a document that characterized spacecraft subsystems foruse by the undergraduate design students. This document was used by regularly undergraduateteams until internet access became common, and the information was readily available on theweb.
