Integration of Sensor Technologies into the Civil Engineering Curriculum

土木工程（54）随着基础设施的老化和传感器技术性能的提高，使用传感器和仪器监测土木工程系统发挥着越来越重要的作用。不幸的是，传感器不是土木工程本科课程的重要组成部分。通过这个项目，调查人员正在一个土坝附近安装传感器，并在校园内正在进行的建筑项目的建筑基础上安装传感器。传感器的安装正在拍摄，以便未来的学生能够了解基础设施传感器安装的问题和挑战。正在开发四个学习模块，并将其整合到土木工程课程的必修课和选修课中：传感器基础知识，传感器安装和操作，数据收集和分析，数据合成，反演和预测。这些模块向学生介绍传感器技术和建筑环境的真实的实时监测的协同作用。学生从模块学习正在严格评估，结果被用来通知模块的增强。

Engineering - Civil (54)The use of sensors and instrumentation for monitoring civil engineering systems plays an increasingly important role as infrastructure ages and as sensor technologies improve in performance. Unfortunately, sensors are not a significant part of the civil engineering undergraduate curriculum. Through this project, investigators are installing sensors adjacent to an earth dam and on a building foundation for construction projects being undertaking on the campus. The installation of the sensors is being filmed so that future generations of students will be able to learn about issues and challenges in installation of sensors for infrastructure. Four learning modules are being developed and integrated into required and elective courses in the civil engineering curriculum: Sensor Fundamentals, Sensor Installation and Operation, Data Collection and Analysis, and Data Synthesis, Inversion, and Prediction. These modules introduce students to sensor technologies and to the synergies of real time monitoring of the built environment. Student learning from the modules is being rigorously evaluated and results are being used to inform enhancements to the modules.
