At the conclusion of the course, freshmen gain an appreciation for the powerof modeling physiological systems and can propose their own hypothesis, which they can thentest in lab. With practice, freshmen become more comfortable with the modeling process [3].They understand the value of solving challenging, open-ended problems with multiple potentialsolutions. Engineering students must learn to creatively ideate and assess numerous approaches,often with conflicting outcomes, starting their freshmen year.

Further evaluation of studentperformance will allow for more concrete statements regarding whether students have madegains in learning about WSN concepts and skills. During the project, tremendous effort from theinstructor and teaching assistances is required. However, as the project takes root, we areconfident that instructors using the developed module will need to exert comparable effort whenpreparing for a new course.

This can be seen in the different models of PBL implementation throughout the world.There are, however, essential features of PBL. PBL is an inductive learning approach thatembeds small groups of students in the role of a professional and presents them with a messy,unstructured, realistic (if not real) problem, to solve. The problem should be well crafted toengage and immerse students in learning new issues, as well as challenge existing knowledge,skills and attitude. Students are guided by cognitive coaches through the PBL cycle to learn andsolve the problem. PBL sought to make students
