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.

The students become accustomed to referringto their laboratory data as the authority on scientific relationships. In the deployment phase thatfollows, students apply the model to a variety of situations and test the limits of the model, oftenthrough problem solving and sometimes via lab practica.

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
