Engineering - Mechanical (56)This project focuses on significantly enhancing traditional laboratory instructional practices through the use of mobile experimentation and data acquisition devices. The targeted goals of the project include: 1) relinquishing a degree of control to students by providing them some flexibility in determining the subject of their experiments and in the development of experimental procedures and protocols; 2) implementing the use of mobile experimentation as a powerful and flexible tool in lecture-based coursework; and 3) expanding the concept of the laboratory to include virtually everything outside of the traditional laboratory room. In addition, this project includes extensive use of Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) by the students in completing the laboratory exercises. The products resulting from this effort include: 1) PDA-based data acquisition system with commonly used sensors (i.e. velocity, temperature, light, sound); and 2) suites of experimental activities with customizable PDA-executables for various engineering and science courses.

工程 - 机械（56）该项目着重于通过使用移动实验和数据采集设备来显着增强传统实验室教学实践。该项目的目标目标包括：1）通过为学生提供一些灵活性来确定实验的主题以及实验程序和协议的开发，从而放弃了一定程度的控制权； 2）在基于讲座的课程中，实施移动实验作为强大而灵活的工具； 3）扩大实验室的概念，以包括传统实验室之外的几乎所有内容。 此外，该项目还包括学生在完成实验室练习中广泛使用个人数字助手（PDA）。 这项工作产生的产品包括：1）具有常用传感器的基于PDA的数据采集系统（即速度，温度，光，声音）； 2）具有可自定义的PDA-执行能力的实验活动的套件，用于各种工程和科学课程。
