This has been achieved by actively engagingparticipants with STEM professionals in an inquiry and project based instructional environment.Using the latest sensor technology for data collection and computer modeling for data analysis,students address the widespread problem of stormwater management. During a 3-dayStormwater Institute at the University of Maine, the participants gain the knowledge of workingwith wireless sensors and laboratory systems to collect water measurements, includingtemperature, conductivity, pH, phosphorous, dissolved oxygen, and bacteria.

Activities include lectures led by professors, hands-on laboratory exercisestailored to engage teenagers, presentations by transportation practitioners, enrichment activities ledby CTDOT, and field trips to Connecticut landmark projects. Program details undergo refinementsand improvements each year, but basic curriculum remains the same, an example being threemodules consistently dedicated to three fundamental transportation modes: land, water and air.

The primary project in the university course isthe iterative design, test and build of a solar oven. This framework is foundational to the highschool version of ENGR 102.A core curriculum, including the solar oven project, excel training and design of experiment(DOE) activities are presented to high school students in much the same way as the universitycourse.

FlowGo.FlowGo will also be disseminated through existing workshops at Tufts Center for Engineering Educationand Outreach and the CEEO’s online course program (okee.tufts.edu).The second expansion goal for FlowGo is to make the toolkit into a cost-effective laboratory tool for under-graduate fluid mechanics and heat transfer classes. It is difficult for most tertiary educational institutions tooffer hands-on labs in fluid mechanics and heat transfer because the majority of experiments in these fieldsare expensive to manufacture, difficult to calibrate, and large and heavy enough that they require permanentlab space. We hope to add quantitative flow measurement components to FlowGo such that undergradu-ates could use the toolkit to learn fluid mechanics
