Research is proving that to enhance learning, we should be involving students inlessons by providing a non-threatening environment which allows them time to ask questions,seek solutions, reflect, share thinking about a theme or topic, and respond to other's viewpoints.In short, as teachers, we need to be able to accomplish learning by doing.

Throughout this process, the teacher’s role is toguide and advise rather than to direct and manage student work [7]. In project based learning, theprojects will have varying complexity but all will relate in some way to the fundamental theoriesand techniques of an engineer’s discipline specialization. Successful completion of projects inpractice requires the integration of all areas of an engineer’s undergraduate training. Project workis more directed to the application of knowledge, management of time and resources by thestudents as well as task and role differentiation is very important

In industrial environments, the radioconditions can be especially difficult because metal walls have a significant impact on thetransmission. Metal shields causing more reflections during radio transmission is well known.Security dependent systems requiring stringent data rate throughput within strict time windowconditions should not be wireless.In addition to the parameters discussed above — factors like unit density, traffic demand,mobility, environmental changes during deployment, interference, frequency range, etc.,determine how well a technology satisfies the requirements. Thus, both the individual linkperformance and the overall network capacity should be optimized.One of the main
