Lisgar Weather Station ● Welcome ● Background ● Description ● Student Work ● Summary

Engineering ● Application of scientific and mathematical principles ● Identify an engineer – B.A.Sc. e.g. – Registered – Iron Ring

Engineer In Residence ● PEO outreach program ● Match engineers with schools ● Bridge the gap that can exist between the real world and classroom theory ● Teacher & EIR are volunteers

Background ● Derrick Oswald ● Engineer 25 years ● Develop software for Autodesk ● Daughters in Grade 11 at Lisgar and Grade 6 at Knoxdale PS ● Active on School Council for 8 years

The Weather Station Project ● Solar powered sensor unit with radio link to a laptop based data collecting station in the classroom ● Summative project for Weather strand of Grade 10 science ● Budget < $1000

Power ● Retail solar panel ● Short winter days are a challenge (1 Watt req.) ● Surplus lead-acid batteries ● Canadian Tire Volts # $69.99

Microcontroller ● BasicX-24 ● 16 digital 8 analog I/O ● Serial communication ● 32K EEPROM ● RobotShop development system RB-Net-04 $143.99

Telemetry ● Low power FM modules ● Concrete floors & metal roofs are a challenge ● Abacom RTF3 & RRF1 $54.50

Instruments ● Anemometer ● Barometer ● Thermometer ● Precipitation Gauge ● Hygrometer ● Photometer

Design ● 4 or 5 groups ● 3 or 4 instruments ea. = 2 groups/instrument ● Generate valid alternative designs ● Goal – understanding scientific principals ● Design competition?

Evaluate ● Compare designs pair wise against a set of criteria ● Quantify “quality” ● Choose “best” design for each instrument ● Examine hybrid designs (best of both) ● Robustness is the key

Construct ● Order parts ● Construct components ● Assemble instrument ● Test ● Iterate design ● Integrate with microcontroller

Calibrate ● Experimental design ● Setup ● Measurement ● Error analysis ● Iterate design ● Report ● Aging (burn in)

Install ● Mechanical fitting ● Electrical fitting ● Integration with other components ● Mount on roof ● Acceptance test

Monitor ● Data collection ● Analysis ● Comparison with published meteorological data ● Web interface? ● Electronic bulletin board interface?

Summary ● Lisgar Weather Station project ● Sponsored by PEO Engineer in Residence ● Comprising six student built instruments ● Grade 10 science summative ● One to two year lifespan ● ~$1000 ● Asking for permission and matching funds
