PIV Background PIV is a proven [11], minimally intrusive, flow visualization and measurement techniquewhich employs a digital imager, a high power laser, laser sheet optics, and a fluid of interestseeded using neutrally buoyant “seeding” particles (Figure 1). In many ways, PIV is uniquelysuited for education in that it allows qualitative and quantitative observation of actual flows inreal time. However, laboratory grade PIV systems are traditionally expensive and requireexperienced users for safe and accurate measurement of flow fields. The high cost of these PIVsystems stems from the individual costs of high

course is required of all students seeking mechanical, civil, or navalarchitecture and marine engineering degrees. Many electrical engineering and marine sciencestudents take the course as an elective. The need for a lab, along with the complexities ofincorporating one into already crowded student schedules, was recently addressed in a localprogram review. The issue of balancing thermodynamic instruction and student course load isnot unique to this institution [1]. To account for the lack of lab time, the authors, who were newto teaching this course at this institution, endeavored to introduce hands on demonstrationsduring typical lectures. This resulted in the design, construction, and use of three stand alonedemonstration units. The devices
