Once again, a contemporary environmental problem such as acid rain is used to exposethe students to the phenomenon of acid rain itself and they learn to use the pH sensor in thisexperiment. Following the acid rain experiment, through discussions, students are exposed toother factors that may affect the environment. Next, the students take on a role of environmentalengineers and suggest experimental designs incorporating different sensors to monitor howvarious factors may impact the environment and how to lower such impact.

ENES 101includes an overview of engineering and an introduction to various topics within engineering. Theemphasis of the revision of the course was to make it a project based inquiry experience. Thestudents must work in interdisciplinary teams to design, build, evaluate, test, and report (both aformal written report and oral presentation) on a specified product. ENES 101 is a three-creditfreshman engineering course which consists of two fifty-minute class sessions and a two-hourdiscussion session each week over a 16 week
