experiments, Froude and Reynolds number scaling isaddressed in detail, and considerable time is spent discussing laboratory safety, instrumentation,data acquisition systems, and uncertainty analysis. Students complete several homeworkassignments individually, and three standard projects, completed in teams, involving a)measurement of resistance on an underwater vehicle, b) measurement of resistance on a surfacevessel, and generation of open water curves on a propeller.Figure 3: Towing tank models used in ENH.

with creating a research project from inception.When completed, this water tunnel will serve as a tool for classroom and laboratorydemonstrations in undergraduate-level courses related to fluid mechanics, as well as a resource inperforming undergraduate research on a small scale. One of the capabilities of this device will beinterchangeable test section models. This will allow for a variety of applications to differentcourse topics and research ideas. The portability of the device will allow for use in a typicalclassroom setting rather than requiring a separate laboratory space, which should facilitate morefrequent use in demonstrations.This paper provides an overview of the primary aims of this senior design project, detailing theways in

and approach.Lectures, tutorials and laboratories allow students to acquire engineering knowledge, while the projectcan give them the opportunity to become a problem solver or an innovator. Projects provide severalopportunities to the students to learn aspects that are difficult to be taught in a class room or laboratory.This paper documents the experience of developing, testing and deploying an WSN energy harvestingsystem, highlighting and discussing the students’ efforts. This project was developed and completed by agroup of four students, during Spring 2017 and Fall 2017 semesters, as their senior project design.2.
