Reflection is alsobelieved to promote deep learning [9]. A search in ASEE PEER for manuscripts with“reflection” in the title yielded 195 results, including 102 from papers at the annual conference in2015-2019 [10]. However, it is unclear to what extent reflection is standard practice inengineering education versus being explored as “novel”. The value of reflection has beenparticularly linked with service-learning, as a critical step in achieving particular learning goalsand/or helping the learner

These networks consist of small battery–powered motors with limitedcomputation and radio communication capabilities. Each sensor in a sensor network consists ofthree subsystems: the sensor subsystem which senses the environment, the processing subsystemwhich performs local computations on the sensed data, and the communication subsystem whichis responsible for message exchanges with neighboring sensors. WSNs comprise tiny wirelesscomputers that sense, process, and communicate environmental stimuli, including
