This paper suggests that the purpose (goal) and manner (method) of knowledge application and generation usefully distinguishes engineering and scientific knowledge. This method could be significantly useful in distinguishing the scientific and engineering components of engineering education, as well as underscored the centrality of social context to engineering work, and engineering values. This paper...
While research has investigated the application of computational methodologies in undergraduate biology education, those approaches require students certain backgrounds from multiple disciplines. Recently, game design and development for education has moved into different fields of science, including biology. Several multi-media interactive products have been developed to simulate biological mechanisms...
Surface model reconstruction from stereo vision is appealing to the rehabilitation industry, including the rehabilitation treatment equipment manufacturers. This article presents a systematic approach for constructing editable three-dimensional (3-D) surface models from stereo cameras and employ this approach to develop a commercializable system for automatically building custom-contoured seats.
Web applications will perform unexpected behaviors against their original UML diagrams and specifications if they are attacked. These attacks always exploit vulnerabilities of those web applications which lack of sufficient protection on their web resources. The paper proposes a resource-based approach to extend UML diagrams for web applications. The goal of the research is, by integrating web resources...
After constructing a grid-based 3D surface model (GSM) for a customized cushion seat using stereo visions, we have observed that the model needs to be manually edited for minimizing the ridges. This paper presents a systematical approach to develop a visual manipulation tool, called VT-GSM, for visually manipulating GSMs. To realize the approach, a 3D graphic transformation pipeline has been adopted...
This paper presents a systematic approach to construct a grid-based 3D surface model for a customized cushion seat for people with disabilities. Initially, a 2D grid map is defined as the bottom surface of the cushion seat based on the required resolution. Then each point in the 2D grid map is projected onto one surface point in the 3D pixel-based point cloud. The height of each surface point is approximated...
Testing is traditionally defined as "the execution of a program with the intent of finding errors."[1] This core definition, though useful, does not provide educators with an effective means to communicate either the goals or the value of software testing. "Testing and test design, as part of quality assurance, should also focus on bug prevention." [2] Similarly, the related mantra...
Since 1936, the accreditation of undergraduate engineering programs has been a cornerstone of modern engineering practice. Accreditation validates that an engineering program serves its constituents and the public well. In an emerging discipline such as software engineering, accreditation standards also serve as a target - a source of requirements for validating an SE program's design. Accreditation...
