(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
understanding of the philosophical basis of engineering will help educators to design and deliver classes with pedagogical approaches that result in more effective engineering training. The questions regarding why and how this effort will be useful to engineers and engineering educators need to be discussed, debated, and examined. This paper is an attempt to identify and focus on some of the major issues of such discussions with emphasis on the pedagogical perspectives. MotivationIn today’s age of technological and engineering advances, engineering fields and discipline-‐focused approaches are merging, expanding, and growing beyond educators’ imaginations
