title = "Enhancing the learning of surface wave dynamics in a modern mechanical engineering program",
abstract = "This paper outlines a proposed low-cost experimental setup for characterization of surface waves that was designed and fabricated in conjunction with a senior design project. The proposed experimental setup will enhance the student's learning of surface waves at water-air interface inside an open transparent channel. The experimental study is based on the flow visualization of water waves combined with measurement of water level using a conductance wave height probe. The detail of the data acquisition system and the characteristics of the wave probes are presented. Finally a teaching strategy for implementing the water wave experimental setup in a Mechanical Engineering curriculum is discussed.",
