In these new pilot settings, theinstructor for the lab might not be the content course instruction and varied on degree ofexperience with the AD Board and with experimental centric instruction.At sites where use reflected re-use, instructors had more familiarity with the device and werenoted to be either refining previous curriculum or were expanding use to new modules and/ornew courses. The experience level of the Teaching Assistants (TA), if present, varied across thesites; in some new-use settings, the TA had the primary responsibility of helping students whileinstructors had limited contact. At other sites, the

Her teaching interests include development of solid communication skills and enhancing laboratory skills.Dr. Teresa J Ryan, East Carolina University Department of Engineering Dr. Teresa Ryan teaches mechanical engineering fundamentals such as Dynamics, Mechanics of Materi- als, Acoustics and Vibrations. She also focuses on technical communication skills within an
source, and on-board storage of data (often done using amemory card.) Channel count and sample rates are some important characteristics of dataloggers.The teaching of data acquisition principles in undergraduate engineering is important becausecomputer-based data acquisition and control is ubiquitous in industrial and laboratory contexts.Data measurements are taken to characterize and analyze performance of a device or system;validate analytical models; further understanding of physical phenomena; monitor and controlperformance of manufacturing, automation, or processes; and monitor equipment. Data-acquisition education can be tied to principles of signal processing and electrical engineering,and reinforce graphing skills and presentation.Ray1,2

courseIntroductionWith the widespread increase of use of composite materials in manufacturing it has becomealmost mandatory to teach courses related to these in engineering schools worldwide. Compositematerials are manufactured with various matrix materials such as metals, ceramics and polymers.Out of these, polymers are being reinforced with fibers widely to manufacture composites. Thesecomposites are manufactured not only with specific mechanical and chemical properties foraviation and aerospace sectors but also for general use such as in sports goods, fluid containersand conduits, and vehicles for land and water transport. Thus, most of the courses1,2,3,4,5 taught atthe undergraduate level in material based programs focus on teaching about

A few of these students expressed interest in pursuinga career in environmental engineering with the remaining having a general interest insustainability. The class counted for three credits with no laboratory component and met twice aweek for eighty minutes. This course was offered for the second time in the spring of 2015, andat that point, few pieces or equipment were available for conducting traditional water qualitylabs. Therefore, the lessons described in this paper were designed to be inexpensive and easy toimplement with minimal facilities.
