Engineering Education, 2009 Development of a “Smart” Sensor: An Integrated Instrumentation Course ProjectAbstractThe instrumentation course at Texas A&M University has and will continue to follow atraditional format, teaching the students about sensor technology, signal conditioning,digitization, and finally signal processing techniques. In addition, with the program’s newemphasis on distributed process control, information on smart sensors and industry-standardinstrumentation buses is included. However, because the Programs are in the process ofdeveloping a strong emphasis in the area of product/system development, the instrumentationcourse has also been identified as an excellent place to have students

The approach of S-L, with its roots in experientiallearning, is consistent with the theories and empirical research of a number of leading educatorsand developmental psychologists, as documented by (1). The approach is also consistent with therecent change in paradigm in education from a focus on teaching to a focus on learning (2). Inengineering, the goals is to have students become better professionals and better citizens whilethe community also benefits. Service-learning (S-L) has been shown to be effective in a largenumber of cognitive and affective measures, including critical thinking and tolerance fordiversity, and leads to better knowledge of course subject matter

The positive impactof successful automation for safety and security is clear, yet the few successes have been costlyand time consuming.

The team at the NDE imaging and modeling labat the Indian research center was keen in developing a robust algorithm for theirautomatic defect recognition (ADR) system for welds. The main problems theteam faced in analyzing weld radiographs were (1) detecting weld defects in thepresence of weld ripples and (2) detecting very faint defects occurring at the edgeof the weld seam. The managers at this center wanted the team to develop newmethodologies to identify defects in welds for analyzing the radiographs andsolve the above problems. In order to bring this real-world issue into engineeringclassrooms, the authors developed a multi-media
