well-rounded process ofadjusting concepts so that they can be efficiently applied to real world situations. The use of modelsas a form of experience to teach ideas, whether theoretical or design, can serve as a conceptualbridge between life situations which aids creativity, problem solving, decision making, andscientific research (11).The theory put forward by Kolb has been implemented in various ways, with varying degrees ofsuccess. Laboratory education has been found to benefit significantly from the application ofKolb’s cycle, including hands-on activities and pre- and post-lab tests to prepare and consolidatethe knowledge of the students (12). These theories were implemented within this activity byintroducing the models, providing theory

In 2007, the first REU student tojoin the lab developed a simple prototype for a wireless data collection system, aiming to designan on-campus watershed sciences and engineering laboratory. This prototype iteratively evolvedwith the help of other REU students to the present LEWAS, which has the following four stages:1) data inputs that consist of environmental instruments including an acoustic Doppler currentprofiler, a water quality sonde and a weather station each taking measurements every 1-3 min.,2) data processing occurring locally on a Raspberry Pi, 3) data storage on a remote server and 4)data visualization through an Online Watershed Learning System (OWLS)(www.lewas.centers.vt.edu/dataviewer) through which end

While writing in engineering practice varies in scope frominformal emails and memos to large scope reports and proposals, writing in engineering coursesis often limited to formal laboratory or project reports, if it is included at all. This often causes adisconnect, leaving engineering graduates lacking in writing knowledge and skills, including asrelated to
