Abstract :
Wireless communication devices can be successfully applied as a powerful educational tool for teaching physics concepts to science major students through an engineering design approach. In this paper we will analyze the effects of work on a wireless sensor communication project on students´ interest and involvement in the learning process and understanding of the related concepts they study in the core science and engineering courses.
