Bringing real world applications for wireless sensor networks into the classroom: Telemetric monitoring of water quality in an artificial stream
Date: 2012
Creator: Bunn, Zac; Guerrero, Jose; Wolf, Lori; Fu, Shengli; Hoeinghaus, David; Driver, Luke et al
Description: This report discusses aquatic sensors and telemetric monitoring of water quality in an artificial stream. Abstract: This research report covers the use of a wireless sensor network (WSN) using the ZigBee protocol to remotely monitor an artificial aquatic ecosystem. Field tests were conducted at the University of North Texas Water Research Facility to compare the accuracy of a high-end standard YSI multi probe system to a cost efficient lab developed sensor cluster, which would be used in the classroom to bring more real-world experiences in engineering to students. Measurements were recorded every 10 seconds for pH, dissolved oxygen, and temperature for a period of 24 hours. Comparison results show a 10 percent degree of variability in dissolved oxygen possibly due to the sensitivity of the DO sensors themselves. On the other hand, temperature and pH measured less than a 5 percent error.

Applications of wireless sensors in monitoring Indoor Air Quality in the classroom environment
Date: 2012
Creator: Chamberlain, Blaine; Jordan, Georgette; Li, Xinrong; Thompson, Ruthanne; Borkar, Chirag & Mansour, Sahar
Description: This report discusses applications of wireless sensors in monitoring Indoor Air Quality in the classroom environment. Abstract: The focus of this research project was to investigate Indoor Air Quality monitoring technologies, government regulations and policies, and best practices to improve IAQ while minimizing the adverse effect of poor IAQ, specifically in the classroom environment. The investigation involved two parts: development of a cost effective indoor air quality prototype sensor unit and the deployment of the unit to monitor 5 different indoor locations. The data from the sample monitoring locations will then be compiled and analyzed. In addition, researching the literature was instrumental in establishing the parameters for testing the environment and conducting experiments. This provided valuable experiences which will be shared with both district teachers and students.
