the protocol of the sensor array instrumentation.As a team, they helped their professor successfully continue the hunt to answer the query ofwhether a Mach Effect (inertial reaction force) is actually detectable. Due partly to their effortsthe science around this instrument is now quite robust and this novel device provides consistent,replicable and predictable results. During the summer research, the students got to apply much oftheir theoretical electrical engineering training to a real-world application in sensor arrays andinstrumentation.Background and MotivationThe roles that our undergraduate engineers played in this research during the summer of 2018was written up in a recent (2019) ASEE Zone 1 conference publication.

His 16 years in industry prior to joining academia underlie his interest in the transition from academic theory to industrial practice. He was formerly a licensed professional engineer in Wisconsin and Texas. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 myDAQ-Compatible Curve Tracer Module for Introductory Electronics LaboratoriesThe principal component of the introductory electronics course at the University of Texas atTyler introduces students to the

in ofhis ASEE publications and presentations (Narayanan, 2019). Here are the four featuressuggested by Nickerson.1. Learning must be Cumulative: The subject matter is not learned by the student in great depth at one long stretch. On thecontrary, the topics are introduced gradually and repeatedly. Furthermore, the level ofcomplexity of subject matter should increase with the progression of time. This is very muchtrue in the area of Advanced Engineering Mathematics. For example, students understand theprinciples of integration initially. Later on, they proceed to learn about Contour Integral,Surface Integral and Triple Integrals.2. Learning must be Integrated: The subject matter is must not introduced with a stand-alone approach

Engineering programs received initialABET accreditation in 2012, followed by Computer Engineering in 2013. Mechanical Engineeringbegan in 2014 and produced its first graduates in 2018, with ABET accreditation currently (as ofJanuary 2019) pending. The Electrical, Computer, and Industrial & Systems Engineering programs wereall reaccredited by ABET in 2018. The Computer Science programs were transferred to the School ofBusiness in the spring of 2018, resulting in the renaming of the Liberty University School ofEngineering (LUSE). Civil Engineering will start in the 2019-20 school year, and ComputationalEngineering is planned for 2020-21. The number of declared engineering majors has grown steadilyreaching a peak enrollment of 518 in the 2018-2019
