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

Oral presentations toan audience of peers and superiors also must be clear, concise and error free. In addition, key ideas mustbe presented visually in such a way that a knowledgeable audience can follow them without prior study.The effective engineer-leader must continually strive to improve both written and oral communicationskills.Two-way communication is much more commonly encountered in day-to-day activities.

One of the benefits of thisundergraduate involvement is that there is now a conduit in place to generate additional interestin the graduate program, as well as a means for student and faculty to interact in an industrialproject setting.
