description The MICA program attempts to make hands on experiments involving measurement, instrumentation, controls, and analysis broadly available in the form of affordable and portable set-ups. A portable water flow visualization chamber was designed and prototyped for use in fluids courses to enable hands on opportunities in classes that are typically theory based. The initial prototype had a lower flow rate than expected, but was able to generate some flow visuals. Changes are proposed that could make this set-up more refined and helpful in classes at the institute and beyond.
