Engineering education today is undergoing an unprecedented array of challenges, including maintaining student engagement during the lecture and throughout the semester. Fostering student engagement in the class room has become a challenging task for engineering educators. In this paper, the authors report on the application of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) to maintain student engagement throughout...
Plexlearning is one Cyberlearning response to Benjamin Bloom's long standing "Two Sigma Education Problem," since 1984. The problem is that Bloom's research confirms that an education system based on Mastery Learning and Expert one-on-one tutoring is significantly more effective than prevailing aggregate-based education delivery system. However, Bloom, this findings have been summarily dismissed...
Rapid changes in modern product development and realization and the move towards globalization are creating gaps in engineering education systems around the world. The global economy has changed the way that engineering firms design, develop, and produce their products. The new global business realities mandate that all firms should evaluate many options available worldwide, not just locally. The...
The project deals about development of a basic RISC processor. The processor is designed with basic architecture consisting of internal modules like clock generator, memory, program counter, instruction register, accumulator, arithmetic and logic unit and decoder. This processor is mainly used for simple general purpose like arithmetic operations and which can be further developed for general purpose...
Research suggests that an increase in learner mobility across formal and informal jurisdictions is a positive response to an integrated global economy and workforce. To facilitate ebbs and flows of maintaining a mobile global workforce, the literature suggests that engineering education should promote methodology and learning mechanisms that personalize accountability of mobile learners' content knowledge...
This paper presents a road map for the design and development of sustainable hybrid Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) controlled High Brightness Light Emitting Diode (HB LED) illumination systems. The proposed hybrid system design presents the foundation for future sustainable high efficiency illumination systems. In this system design, an FPGA is used to individually control an array of HB LEDs...
This paper presents a case study of designing an e-learning course in the field of electrical engineering-Industrial automation program at Palestine Polytechnic University. The applied methodology consisting of few stages starting with formulating the major course objectives, extracting topics outcomes, design the appropriate teaching tools and storyboard, and as final stage the evaluation system...
Research suggests that an emerging environment of ubiquitous information technology affords seamless movement between formal learning, informal learning, and the workplace. This paper reviews research data from one successful teaching and learning methodology that leverages seamless movements between informal and formal learning in engineering education. The research is an ongoing pilot study at the...
E-learning can be used to help universities and technical colleges overcome this problem. One approach that can be implemented to overcome this problem is to expand e-learning activities in programs with limited resources to take advantage of online computer-based technology. In this model, remote instrumentation technology and the internet are merged to interface students with the physical world.
Rapid changes in the field of engineering technology have increased the need for universities to provide engineering and engineering technology students with meaningful and relevant practical experiences, however, limited available resources in the provision of laboratory hardware and infrastructure have been the principal impediment in achieving this objective. Such hardware limitations have been...
Amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) noise mitigation from the pre-amp erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) to the photon detector (PD) in optical receivers can be reduced by optimizing the EDFA at the optical receiver level to achieve optimal optical receiver transmission performance.
