They also noted:"Sabbatical leaves ... are seen as of tremendous benefit to faculty as they seek self-improvementin ... teaching ... ." No wonder, then, that I felt that the solution to curing burn-out and toimproving my teaching was to simply take a sabbatical leave from my position.

The suggested approach is a software overlay over the existing Bluetooth protocol and necessitates no change inthe device hardware. The Simulink Model for the Bluetooth protocol has been designed using the MATLABcommunications blockset and signal processing tool box.

These projects are often sponsored by an industry partner, providingstudents an audience outside of a school setting and a chance to contribute to solving a real-world problem that can prepare them for the workplace [2, 3]. Ideally, team projects allowstudents to develop skills that will be transferable to a workplace setting, where individuals mustwork and write with others within an organization [1, 4].These projects, however, may present challenges for women and other underrepresentedstudents.
