these tools for student projects, both simple and advanced, is outlined.IntroductionTeam-based, hands-on, multidisciplinary design projects have seen an increased place in thechemical engineering curriculum, especially w ith the advent of the new criteria set forth by theAccreditation Board of Engineering and Technology. However, even with these efforts, studentsare often challenged to learn advanced engineering topics outside of their major discipline ontheir own or with help from their instructor. This often results in student frustration and a lack oflearning.At the same time, engineers inherently are fascinated with children’s toys that focus on or utilizesimple engineering fundamentals. For example, there are many simple wooden puzzles

monitor daily electricity consumption has becomeincreasingly important with the ever growing demands for energy. Monitoring and quantifyingpower consumption enables engineers to notice problems with systems while in operation, andalso better plan future systems from the data gathered. As a result, power quality (PQ)measurement concepts are evolving from instantaneous metering to continuous monitoring andrecent developments in measurement technology make PQ monitoring systems more powerful.This equates to the construction and utilization of more flexible, compact and intelligent PQsystems.The goal of this project was to design, construct and test a monitoring system that is cost-effective, reliable and easily deployable in any environment.

The authors agreed with their colleagues that sophomores should beexposed to these professional practice issues; the challenge was how to do so in a course that islargely devoted to technical topics.The Fundamentals course is structured around five group projects: surveying a closed traverse,mapping and gauging a stream, conducting hydraulics experiments in a flume, measuring theproperties of civil engineering materials, and the design/construction/testing of a model truss.The professional practices component of the course is integrated into and among the fiveprojects. It includes three activities: (1) a mentoring program; (2) leadership exercises; and (3)communications skills. The three activities are discussed in detail in the
