A miniature open-channel flow system with weirs was used to teach characteristics of open-channel flow, flow control and measurement in a Civil Engineering Water Resources Engineering class. One class was given hands-on active learning; the other class, as a control will receive traditional lecture in the following semester. Preliminary analysis of the results shows that concept inventory performance for students who received the hands-on active learning exercise is improved by 52.1 % over their pre-test. In addition, a flashlight survey discloses that 29.5% of students were very satisfied while 65.9% were satisfied with the hands-on active method compared to the traditional lecture method.
