Sensors, Monitoring, and Health Assessment in the Undergraduate Curriculum
Currently, the use of advanced sensing technologies is rapidly increasing in research and practice, but the implementation of sensors and health monitoring of earth structures in the undergraduate curriculum has not kept pace with advances in the state of practice. This paper introduces the development of educational modules based upon the installation of a remotely-monitored sensor network. The modules will expose students in geotechnical engineering to advanced sensor technologies and opportunities to observe and analyze data that are collected in real time. Initial assessments indicate that introduction of even basic concepts on sensors increases student comprehension and confidence on the subject.
