the need to increase incorporation of the entrepreneurial mindset in theengineering classroom at every level, not simply within the capstone senior design courses.Due to the relative ease in implementation, a group of lead faculty determined that online classdiscussions (either through an online class or face-to-face class) would provide an ideal startingpoint for incorporating the entrepreneurial mindset. Creating, deploying, and managing an onlinediscussion can be accomplished effectively and efficiently with a relatively minor investment inprep work prior to deploying the online discussion [12-14] with limited classroom disruption.Furthermore, online discussions provide many benefits for both face-to-face classrooms andonline courses [9-11

The overall intention of this work is to help facilitate upper division level laboratoryprojects in dynamics. Such projects are intended to provide students with the opportunity to i)apply and reinforce their knowledge of dynamics, ii) learn and practice modern experimentalmethods used to make and assess motion measurements, and iii) if possible, compare theoreticaland measured results.The instrumentation involves the use of two inexpensive sensors – a dual axis accelerometer anda rate gyro – and a data acquisition system (such as LABVIEW).
