After the review period, the students had a clear ideaof the basics behind fuzzy logic and the way they were going to use it for their projects. For theintegration of the groups, the students chose their partners, with the restrictions of having threepersons per group, and at least one member of the group should have taken the “Fuzzy SetTheory and Its Applications” course. With this, we ensured some homogeneity in the groups andthe success of the projects. Since students worked in teams, each team was responsible for their own designs and the properfunctioning of their project. However, in order to keep a close contact among the

They were also allowed to experiment with different materialsand different construction techniques.
