The LEWAS lab is being used for watershedsustainability research and hands-on classroom education. The lab has been used in a senior levelundergraduate Hydrology course in fall 2012 and spring 2014 by incorporating LEWAS-basedhands-on modules into the course. The lab has also been integrated into freshmen level courses atVirginia Western Community College in Roanoke, Virginia. These learning modules introducestudents to watershed sustainability concepts, a real world application of LabVIEW, and hands-on data collection and analysis projects. Effectiveness
