For the automation of a production system a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation model of the mechanical system was developed and embedded on the controller. In a second level, the controller was simulated on a PC for designing and testing the human-machine interface (HMI). The task of the system is a PVD (physical vapor deposition) coating process for materials, which involves pulsed laser deposition...
The main purpose of this paper is to provide a snapshot of the current status of our two-phase-eight-year nation-wide effort in improving the software engineering education in Taiwan. In the first phase of this program (2004 - 2008), the number of universities that regularly offer software engineering courses grew from 63 to 92 while the number of offered courses grew from 159 to 406. The main objective...
This paper outlines the application of a special Environmental Management Information System (EMIS) that combines discrete event simulation (DES) and life cycle analysis (LCA) in addition to material flow analysis as an integrated part of the simulation software. The motivation behind the combination of these different techniques is to close the gap between identifying only parts of the life cycle,...
Some distance education institutions have invested heavily in print-based resources, and learners still show a preference for print; but some concepts and practical or skills based courses, for example science or engineering, do not translate well into the print medium. This paper presents Augmented Reality (AR) as a possible solution and discusses the development and implementation of an AR application...
I juxtapose testimony and research to take notice and illustrate the kind of intervention in the Política Nacional de Informática (P.N.I.) carried out in 1979 by a group of military officials who were members of the Serviço Nacional de Informações (S.N.I.) - the political police of the military dictatorship that ruled Brazil from 1964 to 1986. Very specifically, I focus on an episode: that group of...
The use of eReaders, and Tablets is increasing dramatically by engineering students. As engineering and science textbooks become more available for these devices at costs significantly below the costs of traditional printed textbooks, even more students will uses these devices. In addition to the text, students often use a professor's slides, handouts, assignments, laboratory exercises, and supplemental...
This paper discusses a novel active learning exercise which teaches students how to perform and assess the effectiveness of formal software inspections. In this exercise, students are responsible for selecting an artifact from their senior capstone design projects. The students then use fault injection to strategically place faults within the artifact that should be caught by the inspection exercise...
Human resources development is an important factor in software process improvement projects. A learning environment is proposed in order to provide a means so that software engineers may achieve needed skills. In such environment, learning occurs in an autonomous way through learning material sharing. The learning materials are recommended considering the learning style and ontologies are used in...
In Software Engineering technical literature the references about the benefits of software inspections are abundant. In contrast, some authors raise the problem of low adoption of this process. From this issue a literature review is made to produce a map on most researched topics in the area, factors causing low adoption and possible solutions. Results showed a list of 64 articles selected using a...
The computer language and compiler COMIC was developed at the Instituto de Cálculo (IC), Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales de la Universidad de Buenos Aires (UBA FCEyN) during the years 1965 and 1966. The context where this experience took place, which today is considered the first of its kind in Argentina, deserves special attention: the isolation of the IC at that time, the reverse engineer...
In this paper, we present Webquests as a didactic resource that allows applying the methodology of Problem-based Learning to Competency-based Curriculum, in order to bridge the gap between “know-what” and “know-how”.
These acts of jotting down the key points from a lecture or adding notation to handouts distributed for the lecture are what we mean by notetaking. The primary purposes of notetaking are two fold: it helps one understand the content of the lecture and also helps the student review and prepare for tests sometime after the lecture. With the rapid penetration of networks and proliferation of powerful...
In this paper we will discuss teaching Software Engineering by using classroom teaching and web-based learning. The teaching assignments, notes, slides are also shared in a website while assessment is done one-to-one in viva or test conducted on the learning material. We are using Information and Communication Technology ICT for teaching. Software Engineering courseware are taught in B.Tech II year...
The research of sound behavior in materials made possible to design the correct acoustic systems, but experimental studies offers better options than theoretical studies. Thus, a measurements system is necessary to obtain these characteristics that we are looking for. In this paper, we show the construction of an acoustic measurement system of materials and how for obtaining the complex reflection...
Unit testing of legacy code is often characterized by the goal to find a maximum number of defects with minimal effort. In context of restrictive time frames and limited resources, approaches for generating test cases promise increased defect detection effectiveness. This paper presents the results of an empirical study investigating the effectiveness of (a) manual unit testing conducted by 48 master...
Many organizations today struggle with getting meaningful insights out of their Test Data. Partly this is due to the complexity of the collection and aggregation of the data, and also partly due to the actual types of data that is recorded at the Test Stations. With some careful planning, the Test Data can be full of rich insights if some standard tags are added to the overall Test Data format.
The importance of software security technologies is increasingly being recognized with the increase in services available on the Internet. It is important to foster human resources with knowledge and skills relevant to software security technologies. This paper proposes a learning process for software security and a learning environment that supports the learning process. In the learning process,...
The software documentation is unpopular among many developers at present while the documents are important for the staffs who work for secondary development and software maintenance. For this phenomenon, a teaching method of writing software documentation is proposed in this paper, in which the software maintenance is the driving force to make students fully understand and grasp the method of software...
The present article offers a study of the development of Multimedia Computer Assisted Instruction (MCAI) in college English teaching from the perspective of its theoretical basis, connotations, limitations, properties as well as its practical meanings. The article points out that the best mode of college English teaching is to combine the traditional teaching method with MCAI and develop learners'...
This article presents the use of remote experimentation laboratories integrated with 3D virtual worlds and their application in the school context. The use of this educational tool is designed to complement the teaching and learning. Using technology in teaching to promote learning beyond the classroom. The remote experimentation has been configured as an alternative to promote this learning supplement...
