2007, the field site was proposed but notselected. At that time, E. Bravo, who was a REU fellow, assisted in developing a prototype for awireless data collection system16. He selected two simple water quality sensors, and establishedserial connection with a microcontroller between each sensor and windows laptop used to viewthe data from the sensors. In 2008, LabVIEW, a programming environment developed byNational Instruments, was selected to be used for data acquisition. During that summer, theinitial detailed design, layout and implementation plan for the LEWAS field site was established.J. Kenny, the REU fellow in 2008, contributed in the integration of a LabVIEW program on awindows laptop for reading water quality data from a multi-probe

One of the major design conceptcomponents is design thinking, which is the thinking process generally adopted by engineeringdesigners in approaching design problems11. Effective design thinking has been commonlyqualified as going through the process of planning, building, and testing, or in more details,going through the cycle of identifying problems, building prototypes

Second, students are required to declare a major and create aneducational plan outlining the courses taken each term in order to get priority registration.Unfortunately, the list of majors that students may choose from is limited to the degrees andcertificates that the specific college offers.

This course introduces project management skills via a curriculumemploying project-based learning. These skills include product design, resource planning,process planning and cost analysis, but the primary focus is in producing a design that ismanufacturable. The most recent offering of this course gives the student an option of lab seriesin which to develop the concepts of DFM. One series uses manual machining processes and theother uses Computer Numerical Control (CNC) manufacturing. Ideally each student can learnusing the method they are
