Hands-on projects in this program use low-cost digital cameras and freevideo processing software in the classroom as a way of gathering empirical data about movingobjects.Example Application: Falling ObjectsThis section provides a detailed example of how a digital camera can be utilized to acquireposition versus time data for a falling body and how the data can be analyzed to determine thelocal gravitational acceleration (g ≈ 9.81 m/s2). The module is designed to be suitable for highschool students taking an engineering, physics, or mathematics course. The aim in this module isfor students to build competence in using technology while discovering important fundamentalphysics concepts on their own. Other modules in the

addressed public accessibility tothe only maintenance break area through construction of a timber bridge to replace thedeteriorated foot bridge that had carried workers across an intermittent stream. With the loss ofthe previous foot bridge, the break/smoking area was accessed by walking along the busy motorpool entrance road (safety) to the vehicle bridge crossing the stream (time). The narrowvehicular bridge, which is located on a sharp bend in the road, is over 50 yards from themaintenance facility while the break area is located a mere 10 yards away on the other side of thestream.Key educational benefits gained by the students who completed it include grappling with real-world constraints, solving substantial engineering problems, dealing with

There are not many other disciplines outside of science andengineering that can put cutting edge theories and technology to a real test over the courseof one semester and get results that were obtained through personal experience. The highvisibility of students working in the laboratory encourages other undergraduates to becomeinterested in a specific course that offers a relevant lab experience. It is important to takeadvantage of this method of learning.In the classroom, students are presented with the history and evolution of fracture theories,beginning with Griffith and Irwin on up

This would be used for determining the final percentage that is displayed for monitoringthe oxygen saturation in the blood of the patient that is using the pulse oximeter. [3]Part of the research on pulse oximeters and the biomedical engineering involved included findingand learning of other projects that used the same technology. One such project included theimplementation of a “wireless body area network” (WBAN) for monitoring body temperature,heartbeat, and oxygen in the blood. This consisted of a somewhat sophisticated system that hasmany functions beyond the reach of the research that was being conducted for this project.However, it had many interesting anecdotes that would be
