• Resumen

  • The College-wide Integrated Teaching and Learning (ITL) Program at the University of Coloradoat Boulder's College of Engineering and Applied Science serves six departments and more than2,400 undergraduate students. The ITL hands-on learning approach places a strong emphasis onenhancing engineering education through the integration of experiments that use computerized dataacquisition, and incorporate the latest sensors and test and measurement equipment, to demonstratethe application of fundamental engineering concepts in a real-world context. Experiments areshared by several departments and used at multiple levels. Examples of these experiments aredescribed with special focus on how LabVIEW is used to implement data acquisition strategies thatinclude simple voltage measurements of a fluid flow system, digital processing of audio signals anddynamic feedback control of a classical mechanical oscillator
