Greenfield Coalition Course Modules In Measurements And Instrumentation

This paper describes the overall structures and approaches used to develop course materials prepared for the National Science Foundation’s Greenfield Coalition. These course modules were developed in the areas of Measurements and Instrumentation. They are intended to fit into the degrees offered at Focus: HOPE and the Greenfield Coalition. They are also intended for dissemination and use by other universities around the world. Joint development with Greenfield Coalition personnel is described using the Enterprise Systems Center Collaboratory at Lehigh University. Two of the interactive activities are described in detail in the paper. The examples chosen include a user interactive flash animation and an Excel file used to illustrate the concepts of digital to analog and analog to digital conversion, respectively.
