For this experiment, students will be required toset up the system and independently use RF and Bluetooth as connectivity types. The studentsthen use the mobile/ web app to test their system. They will be required to record the actual stateof the LED when controlled from the app.(b) A/C Bulb Switching over InternetControlling an A/C bulb is a step ahead of controlling an LED.

Students may also choose to enroll in thenon-NFS sections to get an easier A or B. These factors may complicate the data analysis.Interpretation of the ResultsStudents who pass the NFS version of EPS are more likely to persist in engineering then studentswho pass the non-NFS version of EPS and this difference is statistically significant. This seems toimply that passing the NFS version of the course is a better indicator of success in engineering.Why are students who pass the NFS version of EPS more likely to persist in engineering thanstudents who pass the non-NFS version

The “static” mechanism is not used for anything else in Java (unlike in C++ which uses it for other purposes).
