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）这个项目的重点是通过使用移动的实验和数据采集设备显着提高传统的实验室教学实践。该项目的目标包括：1）在确定实验主题以及开发实验程序和协议方面为学生提供一定的灵活性，从而放弃一定程度的控制权; 2）实施使用移动的实验作为基于讲座的课程作业中强大而灵活的工具;以及3）将实验室的概念扩展到包括传统实验室房间之外的几乎所有东西。 此外，这个项目包括学生在完成实验练习时广泛使用个人数字助理（PDA）。 这项工作的成果包括：1）基于PDA的数据采集系统，带有常用的传感器（即速度、温度、光、声音）; 2）实验活动套件，带有可定制的PDA可执行文件，用于各种工程和科学课程。
