AB  - The hands-on experience for engineering students is often lacking with class sizesincreasing and classroom resources under constant pressure. Even with smaller classsizes and studio classrooms there is only so much equipment and technical support to runexperiments and allow for student interaction. Network-based data collection and controlmay alleviate some of these issues and allow for more hands-on experiences, althoughremote, in the classroom. This paper discusses the interesting problems and not soobvious pitfalls of setting up some simple network-based data acquisition systems for amultidisciplinary freshman level engineering course. The course as currently taughtincludes some sensor calibration and feedback/control projects using LabVIEW that areintroduced in the last six weeks of the term. In groups of three or four students, theydevelop a basic understanding of interfacing to sensors and using LabVIEW through aseries of guided exercises. The projects assigned are all team based, so it is always aconcern that each student in the team develops a good understanding of sensorcalibration, data acquisition and control fundamentals. Too often one student will operatethe system and the other students just stand to the side watching. With the limitednumber of control experiments and data acquisition systems, there have been few optionsfor improving the experience. This paper discusses the options and approaches currentlyin development for this rather difficult approach. We address how this might beintegrated into the existing freshman course and how it might improve student learning.This approach may also have a role for many other courses by bringing more appliedproblems into the classroom through the network-based laboratory experience.
