Students use theOWLS to participate in hands-on remote lab activities that virtually situate the students from theclassroom into the field. This study seeks to enhance student learning and motivation byincorporating the OWLS activities into the curriculum to engage students in active learningwhile supporting course objectives in university and community college classrooms.

Manual measurement is inaccurate, is difficult to do, for example when it is raining, and incurs a risk on the user who must climb atop tanks to take the measurement. Overall Goals: There is a need to design an automatic system that can measure the fuel levels in tanks, check the presence of water, calculate (measure) the density of the fuel, and display this information to the responsible people view so they can take the appropriate actions.The curriculum of the FYP courses has also shifted to provide more structure and support forstudents in their projects.

Consequently, facility in interpreting thesevisual communications is a fundamental skill for most engineers.Typical engineering documents are visual, however simply seeing the document is not enough tobe able to interpret, reason, and communicate with it. The engineer must be able to internalizethe information into a mental map of some sort and appropriately interpret the features.This case study examines how a blind mechanical engineering student was taught and learnedbasic concepts of engineering graphical representation.
