environment. A vehicle’s path and control can be improved by using the WSNmore efficiently to ensure proper vehicle operation in the given application.At Texas A&M University-Kingsville, a new lab exercise for an unmanned surface vehicle hasbeen created for students to demonstrate how the sensor network improves the vehicle’s controland path planning. A simple sensor model is implemented in the exercise. The physics-basedmodel is analyzed for the vehicle. A “simulated sensor” input from the WSN results in thedevelopment of the control of the vehicle system during the laboratory exercise. Then thestudents compare the corresponding closed loop control system with and without the WSN inputin a path planning application. The closed loop system is

envisionedto protect the coastal communities in Chambers and Brazoria Counties. An eminent team ofpartners was formed by TAMUG to carry the concept evaluation to the next level and to openlyinvolve stakeholders in the effort. Partners and collaborators include engineers from TheNetherlands, Delft Technical University, Texas A&M University, TAMUG, economics experts,planning experts, municipal, county and state governments, Army Corps of Engineers GalvestonDistrict, the Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) and the Jackson StateUniversity Coastal Hazards Center of Excellence (sponsored by the Department of HomelandSecurity).This project involved participation of four graduate students in evaluation of a continuousseawall at an elevation of

and pressure. The paper presents the design, testing and implementationof such EH system, supplying power to a WSN node, and the lessen learned during this project. 3. Low-Coast Energy Harvester for a Costal Monitoring Wireless Sensor NodeThis project is an underway project for MET 421/422/423 (Senior Project Design), preformed bya team of four students, two electrical and two mechanical seniors. MET 421/422/423 is asequence of three-quarter capstone project design courses required for all the BSET majors. Thecourse focuses on planning, development, and implementation of an engineering design project,which includes formal report writing, project documentation, group presentations, and projectdemonstrations. The goal of these courses is to

screens, presentations and videos is also advisable. Use of tools such as the iPad & Apple TV set would allow us generating more fluent group dynamics. • Despite familiarization with student’s private computer tools, it is usually just limited to online web surfing and basic use of productivity tools. On both short experiences this interfered on development of activities since many doubts arisen among students. In the case of the third experience, the plan of a complete subject dedicated to the use of collaborative tools was also included. In any case, despite the initial lack of awareness, one of the things most appreciated by students were precisely those collaborative tools as they eased their
