2019 ASEE Annual Conference & Exposition Wireless water monitoring system and portable analysis platform product development in academiaAbstractClean water is important for public health and people have become more vigilant of monitoringpotentially contaminated drinking water. In this project, students were advised to seek a solutionto detect contaminated water by conducting market research on the industry and the public’sneeds, then based on these results, to engineer the device. After extensive customer discoverythrough the Texas A&M University National Science Foundation Innovation Site Program (NSFI-Site) that focuses on technology commercialization, students found that water quality isespecially

American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 Inverted Approach to Teach InversionAbstractInversion is one of the most important weather phenomena that determines air quality and istypically covered in courses concerning air pollution. Anecdotal evidence indicates that followingtextbook readings and lectures, students generally express misconceptions about this topic. Addingactive learning to the classroom has been advocated amongst the best practices for highereducation, with physical in-class demonstrations being especially effective for engineeringeducation. The study explores the impact of adding a laboratory demonstration, centered oncreating an artificial inversion layer (with dry ice, smoke bombs, and bubble

&M University and earned his Doctor of Philos- ophy in Civil (Environmental) Engineering. His research efforts are focused on drinking water quality and issues related to treatment of wastewater using physical, chemical, biological and electro-chemical/kinetic processes. His recent research efforts have been in the area of application of geographic information sys- tems to environmental management and sustainability, causes/effects of salinity in soils and corrosion of metal pipes. Dr. Tewari also has keen interest in STEM education, improving diversity in STEM areas, inclusion of hands-on and digital tools in curriculum. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 Utility

for Engineering Education, 2019 Development and Assessment of an Undergraduate Research CommunityAbstractLiterature suggests the benefits to undergraduate research include improving students’understanding of the research process, their resilience, and their ability to persist through failure.However, at primarily undergraduate institutions, there are a number of challenges in making theundergraduate research experience successful for both students and faculty mentors. First, there isa significant burden on faculty mentors who, along with designing a research project, are typicallyindividually advising students, training them in reading and writing about research, and critiquingposters and presentations. These are skills which could be
