One of the difficultiesof running the course in this manner is the lack of one appropriate textbook for student reference.In the future, data acquisition of real world sensor data is planned as an extension of the use ofLabView.

ispotential to capture that energy using an in-line turbine generator [11]. This project consists of taking an existingwater delivery system, in Keene, New Hampshire, and designing an optimal turbine-generator set-up specificallytailored to their parameters. By focusing on towns with large water demands and high water towers we can optimizethe electrical output of our generators, and create a larger power output. With water coming in from ageographically higher location, the potential energy, and flow rates increase, thus increasing the amount ofelectricity made. We plan to capture some of this untapped energy by converting the potential energy of the waterinto electrical energy that would take the strain off of power plants and other power sources

In addition, physical prototypescan be either full size or dimensionally scaled and can be either fully functional or be created toexhibit only partial functionality. Additional choices that are part of a prototyping strategyinclude whether one chooses to develop prototypes for a number of concepts in parallel andwhether one plans to develop a sequence of prototypes of a concept. The choices made for theprototyping variables identified above can make tremendous differences in the time frame, costand effectiveness of the prototyping work. However

Finally,metacognition, or ‘thinking about thinking,’ has an impact on the development of modelingstrategies of students, when the impacts of four metacognitive dimensions are considered:awareness, planning, cognitive strategy and self-checking. Students who are better at self-checking show higher growth in their modeling abilities over the course of a year, compared tostudents who are less proficient at self-checking. The growth in modeling abilities is also moder-ated by the cognitive strategy and planning skills of the student. After some experience
