– “Why Clickers?”“Audience response systems” (ARSs), “Classroom Response Systems”, “Response Devices” ormore simply, “Clickers” that allow students to actively engage in the teaching/learning processare seeing increased use in many engineering classrooms. With these small hand-held devices,students can electronically and anonymously submit an answer to a multiple choice questionposed by the instructor and displayed to the class. The instructor is then able to gauge howstudents are doing with respect to particular course concepts or simply gather generalinformation about the class. The students are able to compare their responses with the class andassess their own understanding.There has been a quite a bit of research on the use of clickers in
