Paper ID #17376Experience and Reflection on an Industry-College Partnership to Develop aNew Instrumentation and Measurement Laboratory CourseDr. Bob Brennan, University of Calgary Robert W. Brennan has been actively involved in a wide range of national and international design ed- ucation initiatives over the past 12 years. He has served on the Canadian Design Engineering Network (CDEN) steering committee, chaired the organizing committee for the second CDEN conference (2004), chaired the Schulich School of Engineering’s first Engineering Education Summit (2007), served as an or- ganizing committee member for the CIRP

data for storage and transmission.  Solar radiation: Hukseflux RA01 and NR01 use pyranometers to sense short wave radiation (300nm to 2800nm) and long wave radiation (4500nm to 50000nm). Neither model requires an external power suppy. ADS1115 differential voltage amplifier provides an analog 0-3V output. EME Systems OWL3Pro board translates the data to a digital stream onto an RS-232 bus.  Snow depth: Judd Communication Depth Sensor measures snow depth by timing a 50kHz ultrasonic pulse reflected from beneath the snow surface. It has an RTD sensor to calibrate for temperature variations in the speed of sound.  Weather Station: Vaisala WXT 520 Weather Transmitter measures

operation for the machine outputs of theresearch. This mode of operation does not run any cycle but allows the operator to determine thepossible situation by changing manual speed, acceleration time, deceleration time etc. of theservo motor or the indexer. Moreover, this operation helps to set the pneumatic components tofunction with precision and nearly accurate positioning.Fill CycleFill cycle of the machine exactly follows the process flow or process mapping of the fillingMechanism. This is actually the basic reflection of the Auto Mode of filler operation along withindexing of the research.1. First step is to check if the priming sequence is complete.2. Second Step is to make sure the first group of containers completed indexing.3. Third step
