engineering/design notebooks) were once standard practice in theprofession, but in recent years the practice has waned as digital technologies have provided newways to represent and store engineering information. In the same bent, the MechanicalEngineering program at Montana State University once required students to keep design journals,but abandoned the practice when journal quality became poor. While the faculty intuitively feltthat journals could be valuable to aspiring engineers, especially in design courses, they haddifficulty assessing journals consistently and guiding students in good journaling practice.As part of a larger research effort to better understand student design processes, I proposed re-instituting journals in the senior capstone

present paper, the design of the DAQ system is discussed from two perspectives: 1) design of the DAQ system with respect to necessary hardware, 2) design of the DAQ system with regard to required software. In brief, the effort made in this paper is to demonstrate new developments made with a portable data acquisition system applicable to the lab and field projects as well as teaching in geomechanics. It is clear that this convenient and powerful tool will help faculty in both teaching and research, as well as help engineering students in studies of Geomechanics or Engineering Mechanics. I.
