Engineering - Engineering Technology (58)The project is integrating current technological advances of smart sensor networks into the undergraduate engineering and technology curriculum. It is developing instructional materials and project-oriented laboratories to provide students with extensive hands-on experiences on smart sensor networks in order to enhance their knowledge and understanding of the design principles in next generation data acquisition systems using off-the-shelf components, modern testing equipment, and software tools. This project-driven curriculum is guiding students through the process of designing, implementing, evaluating, and maintaining sensor networks while applying this process to real world problems. The materials are being used in several different schools ranging from a research university to a community college and they are being used in K-12 through several existing efforts. Evaluation efforts, under the direction of two expert evaluators, are using an analysis of student products, observations, and the Student Assessment of Learning Gains (SALG) survey to monitor progress. Instructional materials and evaluation results are being disseminated through website postings, conference papers, journal articles, and workshops with National Instruments and with the Instrument Society of America. Broader impacts include the dissemination of the material, the outreach to K-12, and the collaboration of three very different schools.

工程-工程技术（58）该项目正在将智能传感器网络的当前技术进步纳入本科工程和技术课程。它正在开发教学材料和面向项目的实验室，为学生提供广泛的智能传感器网络的实践经验，以提高他们的知识和使用现成的组件，现代测试设备和软件工具的下一代数据采集系统的设计原则的理解。 这个项目驱动的课程是指导学生通过设计，实施，评估和维护传感器网络的过程，同时将此过程应用到真实的世界问题。 这些材料正在几所不同的学校使用，从研究型大学到社区学院，它们正在通过几项现有的努力在K-12中使用。 在两名专家评估员的指导下，评估工作正在利用对学生产品的分析、观察和学生学习成绩评估调查来监测进展情况。 教学材料和评估结果正在通过网站张贴，会议论文，期刊文章，并与国家仪器和美国仪器协会研讨会传播。 更广泛的影响包括材料的传播、对K-12的宣传以及三所截然不同的学校的合作。
