本文讨论了一个用于加强水资源可持续性教育的实时水资源监测系统的设计过程。这个系统，称为LabVIEW启用分水岭评估系统（LEWAS），是一个真实世界的应用程序扩展的一组数据采集模块，成功地实现了使用LabVIEW在第一个新生engineeringcourse，工程探索ENGE 1024，在弗吉尼亚理工大学。该系统可真实的测量水质和水量数据，包括流速、pH值、溶解氧、电导率和温度，作为校园受损溪流的健康指标。此外，天气参数（温度，气压，相对湿度和降水量）是measuredat的LEWAS网站在弗吉尼亚理工大学校园。LEWAS由太阳能供电，并通过高增益天线使用校园无线网络将数据实时传输到远程客户端。LEWAS的试点应用已在ENGE 1024中实施，以解决与水可持续性教育有关的问题。学生们对实时监测对提高他们的环境意识的影响给予了积极的反馈。
In this paper the design process of a real-time water monitoring system developed to enhance water sustainability education isdiscussed. This system, called the LabVIEW Enabled Watershed Assessment System (LEWAS), is a real-world applicationextension of a set of data acquisition modules that were successfully implemented using LabVIEW in the first freshman engineeringcourse, Engineering Exploration ENGE 1024, at Virginia Tech. The system measures water quality and quantity data includingflow rate, pH, dissolved oxygen, conductivity and temperature—as indicators of stream health for an on-campus impaired stream—in real time. In addition, weather parameters (temperature, barometric pressure, relative humidity and precipitation) are measuredat the LEWAS site on Virginia Tech campus. The LEWAS is solar powered and uses the campus wireless network through a high-gain antenna to transmit data to remote clients in real-time. Pilot applications of the LEWAS have been implemented into ENGE1024 to address issues related to water sustainability education. Students have given positive feedback regarding the impact of real-time monitoring on increasing their environmental awareness.
