Channel count and sample rates are some important characteristics of dataloggers.The teaching of data acquisition principles in undergraduate engineering is important becausecomputer-based data acquisition and control is ubiquitous in industrial and laboratory contexts.Data measurements are taken to characterize and analyze performance of a device or system;validate analytical models; further understanding of physical phenomena; monitor and controlperformance of manufacturing, automation, or processes; and monitor equipment. Data-acquisition education can be tied to principles of signal processing and electrical engineering,and reinforce graphing skills and presentation.Ray1,2

Compositematerials are manufactured with various matrix materials such as metals, ceramics and polymers.Out of these, polymers are being reinforced with fibers widely to manufacture composites. Thesecomposites are manufactured not only with specific mechanical and chemical properties foraviation and aerospace sectors but also for general use such as in sports goods, fluid containersand conduits, and vehicles for land and water transport. Thus, most of the courses1,2,3,4,5 taught atthe undergraduate level in material based programs focus on teaching about

As thebarriers to entry fall, space missions become a viable option for more students and researchgroups. Many of these missions require accurate spacecraft pointing and attitude control.Consequently, exposing students to the practical elements of spacecraft attitude sensing andcontrol is more important than ever. To help address this challenge a novel low-cost test-bed forattitude control has
