            Abstract : 
This mini-workshop will thoroughly explore the MUSE instructional method that emphasizes systems thinking and that creates a learner-centric environment appropriate for today´s engineering students. By tapping unique expertise at multiple institutions in the timely area of wireless sensor networks, implementing an inverted classroom instructional method, and involving open-ended, hands-on experiences, the MUSE approach has been shown to provide a unique pedagogical experience. The mini-workshop will not only present the MUSE approach and results to date but also is designed to encourage participants to develop new MUSE collaborations based on other complex-engineered systems.
