Theyalso can choose among project ideas proposed by the instructor. In either case, students arerequired to clearly state their project title, objective(s), and the significance of the project toindustry, science, technology, health, etc. Upon approval, the projects start a three-phase processwith due dates specified in the project guidelines given to the students. All groups need tocomplete approximately the same tasks.In Phase One, they have to determine the sensing device required to transduce the desiredmeasured quantity to an electrical signal, determine a complete data acquisition

- Objectives of the Experiment and the ProjectThe following major objectives were set at the inception of the project:1. To develop an experiment and project for a complete review and a better understanding of thestatistical parameters that may heavily influence the engineering/design decision making process.2. To create an opportunity for collaborative research and design efforts between undergraduateengineering student(s) and faculty.3. To design, produce, test, and optimize a cost-effective, reproducible apparatus withoutstanding features.4. To make all information necessary for fabrication of the apparatus and conducting theexperiment and the project available to engineering programs nationwide

the United States. Nationwide this was accomplishedthrough the use of a method called triangulation. In this method a rather long base line ismeasured on one coast, say 25 miles, using a steel tape and taping bucks6. Using a transit toensure that the line is straight and leveling to determine the elevations of the ends of the tape, avery precise measurement is made of the base line (a very long and tedious task). See Figure-2on the left is a metric leveling rod, in the center a taping buck. The elevation of the end points ofthe tape are determined with dumpy level as shown in Figure-3.

It may be pointed out that not all students in a class may haveparticipated in this survey. That is, they might not have taken any quiz either because theymissed deadlines set for the assignment(s), or they felt (based on their performance in theclass) taking the quizzes doesn‟t significantly change their grade in the class, or finally, theymight have taken only a few quizzes.

students’conceptual understanding as they explore and make sense of phenomena on their own terms.Relevant education courses provide the theoretical underpinnings of inquiry teaching andlearning, and the re-design of engineering course curricula from traditional lecture to problem-based learning (a form of inquiry) provides the practice of the theory. This theory-informs-practice model provides future teacher-engineers with the knowledge and experience to teach insuch a manner that both engages K-12 students in their learning and exciting them aboutengineering as a career option.AAAS, American Association for the Advancement of Science.

In order to improve detection and forecast of such phenomenausing radar, one of the key factors is fast scan capability. Conventional weather radars, suchas the ubiquitous NEXRAD (Next Generation Radar developed in the 1980’s), are severelylimited by mechanical scanning. Approximately 175 of these radars are in a national networkto provide the bulk of our weather information. Under the development for weather

because it provided training inobservation, supplied detailed information, and aroused pupils’ interest.” [4] According to Blosser,however, the value of teaching labs was questioned in the 1970’s and 1980’s by several studiesthat examined student achievement, attitudes, critical thinking, cognitive style, scienceunderstanding, skill development, interest level, retention in courses, and the ability to workindependently. Some studies found no significant differences between groups who had labexperiences verses groups that did not. [5] However, in the intervening period of the early 21stCentury, numerous reviews and studies (more than can be cited practically here) refuted the late20th Century view and confirmed that laboratories are an important

In fact, smartphones have already been leveragedin educational settings to sense parameters of physical systems such as the rotational energy of apendulum by attaching the smartphone to a bicycle wheel and measuring the angular velocitythrough the embedded gyroscope.5 Even as this application of rigidly mounting the smartphoneto the system exploits the embedded sensing capability of these devices

The first CAI programs were either computerizedversions of textbooks, or drill and practice monitors [6] that presented a student with problems andcompared the student’s responses to the pre-scored answers, and if necessary, provided the student withcanned remedial responses. Improvements were continuously made until computer-aidedinstruction systems evolved into intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) [7, 8
