This study provides a project-based learning case study of the design of data acquisition module for the greenhouse system. The project-based learning environment is provided to the final year undergraduate engineering students where the students try to develop a prototype of a greenhouse system equipped with various sensors and actuators. The learning target is to develop a fully functional laboratory prototype of the greenhouse with sensors and actuators and perform data acquisition and data logging operations in the greenhouse. In addition to the development of hardware prototype, the students are encouraged to learn the theory and modeling aspects behind the problem. The result of the project-based learning approach has been encouraging since the students were able to design the working prototype of the greenhouse with basic control functionalities.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
