often designed and used by electrical and mechanical engineering students. Likewise,the analyses of the data can be confusing and difficult to perform. Regardless of students’apprehension, instrumentation use grows because these tools can be used to validate importantdesign assumptions and monitor performance as the design is built. This is especially true insituations when unknown design parameters must be verified and workers safety may becompromised, such as a large earthwork and shoring projects. The experience CE students gainin instrumentation is non-existent or scant in many undergraduate and graduate programsthroughout the U.S. The holistic approach to this course includes; instrumentation selection, datacollection, data analyses, data

curriculum over the past decade. Most of these courses have a number of objectives relating to the development of traditional technical skills, including familiarization with design and shop tools, incorporation of physics into design decisions, and methods for analysis and testing. These courses, which are a form of experiential learning,, can have a number of additional broader objectives as well. These broader objectives can include fostering creativity, persistence in overcoming obstacles, making all students welcome regardless of their prior experience in design, and understanding how to work on a team and manage a project. While assessment of traditional technical and analytical skills is straight-forward to assess in exams and report

Theories regardingmodeling by STEM professionals in practice contend that models are initially constructed fromprior knowledge and newly gathered information and that they are refined in an iterative cycle ofcreation, use, evaluation, and revision.1,2,3 However, authentic modeling practices are difficult toreplicate in the school environment.In order to develop these iterative modeling skills in students we have designed the Virtual CVDLaboratory Project.

Students who survive to the senior year (nationally, about half theinitial freshman class) are then asked to synthesize all that they have learned in a design project,which requires teamwork, project management and communication skills, as well as the abilityto see the world from a broader perspective. Note that they have spent the previous three yearslearning to focus on details of ever-increasingly narrow topics, with an strong emphasis onindividual achievement.

While in school, material isbroadly segmented into courses that are refined into chapters and topics. The proper problemapproach is easily recognized and their success verified by the answers in the back of the book.When initially given a project the young practicing engineer may feel insecure and unsure of theapproach that should be taken.
