ABSTRACT
This paper introduces an electronic nose-based experiment to enhance student’s involvement into science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) learning, understanding the way that science and mathematics support the work of engineers and technologists. A computerized laboratory environment, electronic nose system, was constructed with a couple purposes. The first is to develop a machine mimicked human olfactory system for the study of flavor discrimination. Another is to develop an interactive computer-based laboratory tool for the promotion of student’s authentic inquiry and practice. The system has been applied to the detection of change in aroma profile in food, such as bread, and beverage, such as alcoholics. The scientific results showed its performance and successful in detecting and classifying of both cases. The electronic nose-based learning experience for students was created in the way of using real-world laboratory experiments to engage students in inquiring the STEM concept and it will be presented.
