Robinson andHullinger [5] also measured online learners’ engagement using the NSSE, and found that themajority of students worked collaboratively, but sometimes did not feel they worked effectivelywith others. Communication was fairly regular among students, and most students felt that theonline course(s) enriched their work through online discussions, work knowledge and skills, andsolving complex real-world problems [5]. In terms of student and university differences, Kuh [25]noted that smaller schools typically have

28713Abstract The application of remote sensing, especially in the field of environmentalmonitoring, has been a relatively new topic. This paper reports progress and results oftwo real-world environmental sensing projects and the impact on graduate learning. The first project is the design and development of a microclimate system. This isa system for use on the land and incorporates sensors that can detect temperature, light,soil moisture, and soil temperature. The design with Crossbow motes, daughter sensorboard, and powering methods will be discussed in the paper. The second related project is a water quality monitor. The project is through thesupport and collaboration with a local non-profit organization, WATR. The water
