The relative humidity sensor uses a laser trimmed, thermosetpolymer capacitive sensing element with on-chip integrated signal conditioning. The sensingelement's multilayer construction provides excellent resistance to most application hazards suchas condensation, dust, dirt, oils and common environmental chemicals. This sensor hasadvantages of a fast response time combined with stable, low drift performance. This is ananalog sensor that requires a 5 volt supply, and it has an output line that is connected to themicrocontrollers ADC. This sensor has an accuracy of ±3.5% over the entire

The entire process was started and complet-ed in one three hour lab period. The goals of the exercise were to give students the chance tocomplete an entire control system design cycle from modeling to hardware testing in one sitting,incorporate as many of the course concepts as possible and give the students a practical under-standing of the application of the theory. Assessment was conducted using pre and post onlinequizzes testing conceptual understanding of the major topics such as linearization, frequency re-sponse, and the effect of proportional, integral and derivative control.

[1] Exposing students to an assortment of technologies is also desirable, to give themas broad an experience as is reasonable. Thus, setups containing different sensors, effectors andactuators and indicators are needed. Quite often, the cost of such laboratory setups (or trainers) ishigh, thereby challenging the desire to have numerous full setups.To broaden the students’ programming capabilities, many programs teach such courses acrossboth microcontroller and

Project TUNA II –Bode Analyzer and Teaching ToolAbstractStudents measuring the frequency response of a linear circuit (e.g., an active filter) by manualmethods find the task mind-numbing and repetitive, and the purpose was frequently lost in theminutiae of data-taking. Project TUNA (Texas Universal Network Analyzer), a Bode analyzerfor low to moderate frequencies, was conceived as an answer to this problem. The prototype ofProject TUNA was developed as a project in Electronics II (EENG 4409) in 1999, andpermanent copies were constructed in 2000. Project TUNA has been integrated into theelectronics curriculum of UT-Tyler since that time. It is used as both a laboratory instrument andas a teaching tool, particularly to illustrate the principles of
