, is still a bit much for engineeringtechnology students.The Marathon ApproachAnyone who has run in (or even observed) a heavily-subscribed long-distance foot race hasobserved that the burst of runners leaving the starting area in a dense pack disperses significantlyby the end of the race, especially in a full marathon. However, only those who also teach fiberoptic telecommunication may have drawn an analogy between this phenomenon and chromaticdispersion in optical fiber! And these days marathon organizers often post results on the web,making it easy to study this analogy in more detail.For example, the results of the 2004 Toronto Marathon are posted on the web [3] in a form thatcan be easily downloaded for analysis. The results data include

challenges. Several things drive the interest of industry and suppliers to involve the academiccommunity in technology research. First, there is an opportunity to expose students and faculty tocurrent issues, processes and procedures in use in industry. Not only do the students directlyinvolved in the research benefit from this, but also students who are exposed by assisting,observing, discussing and listening to the challenges of the project derive benefit. Engineeringdevelopment projects, particularly when they must be integrated back into a company’s ongoingoperations, offer an opportunity for faculty to develop and integrate procedures and projectmanagement principles that are current and realistic into their teaching materials and frame

Based on the results of the proposed algorithm an experiment may beplanned in which the system will be constructed and the suggested measurement procedure tested.In the Systems Engineering Department at the U.S. Naval Academy, we strongly emphasize capstonedesign projects. The proposed research presents a very good opportunity to teach students the full designcycle. This experiment is well defined using mathematical tools and in that sense it is a straightforward taskto develop a software simulation. The actual construction of the measurement system is rather complex

The model was usedto separately demonstrate how to measure elevation-storage and stage-discharge relationships.The scale of the model makes it suitable for real-time, in-class demonstrations and experiments.All required equipment fits on a standard laboratory cart, and can be easily transported to theclassroom. A second objective of the model reservoir was to provide a system of sufficient simplicityto allow mathematical modeling.

However, in recentyears, microcontrollers have become more accessible and easier to use, providing a potentialplatform to create inexpensive ball and beam systems. Examples of ball and beam systems usinginexpensive microcontrollers are available [2]. In this work, one such example was adapted tocreate a classroom experiment to study PID controllers [2].
