The week started off with a presentation from Dr. Hunter on GPS and GIS. He explained the basics of how GPS works, along with showing us some state of the art equipment that the university uses for research. He then introduced us to the arcGIS software that utilizes the collected GPS data. We went through a short demo using the program, which allowed us to manipulate the different layers to show relationships between different pieces. The software makes it very easy to actually use the data and present multiple layers in one location.The second half of the day was spent working on the engineering side of our lesson plan, specifically writing the design portion of the student activity for an engineering design class. Our goal is for students to build the prototype unit, and then use their functional unit to sample their schools indoor air quality.
