In this work-in-progress paper, the topic of fractional-order modeling and control in education is discussed. The study of fractional calculus, fractional-order systems (FOS) and the applications thereof have been of interest to many scientists and engineers as evidenced in the recent exponential growth in the number of corresponding research publications worldwide. One particular area of study is...
Simulation represents the major research method in all knowledge domains and a scientifically valid method of estimating the characteristics of complex systems used for decision making in different areas of engineering. The existing and projected systems can be explored effectively using mathematical models (analytical and simulation) implemented on high-performance computers, which act in this case...
This paper presents a hybrid control which includes swing-up and balancing control for pendubot system - a two-link under-actuated robot. The parameters of the pendubot system are measured in the actual pendubot system built in the automation lab, University of Technology and Education HCM City. A hybrid controller which drives the system close to the equilibrium manifold and maintains the system...
Nowadays, there appears to be sufficient evidence that a collective of uninformed individuals can outperform single individuals (even individual experts) in solving some difficult judgment and prediction problems. In some situations, the predictions given by collective members on the outcome of a future event can be modified (such as by updating or removing predictions) to reach a higher consistency...
We are using life-size mannequins within an education subjects, e.g. “Medical devices” for a demonstration of basic principles of modern clinical devices such as mechanical lung ventilator. Limitation of many simulators is uniformity of its outputs for same input parameters. This paper describes variability of the vital signs of the mannequin when the same scenario was used for different base patients...
This paper describes a cloud-based digital design environment for ASIC and FPGA. We call it CloudV. CloudV is built using open-source as well as homegrown EDA software tools. The ultimate goal of CloudV is to reduce the design costs by relying on cloud infrastructure and on collaborative design. Currently, CloudV v 1.0 allows students to gain hands-on experience in digital ASIC design tasks covering...
This paper is about an interactive virtual reality (VR) installation that is designed and developed for school students who visit the DLR School Lab Bremen of the German Aerospace Center. Using immersive VR technology, we put the participants in place (avatar) of an astronaut who is located outside the International Space Station and can see the virtual world through the eyes of this avatar. This...
The technological rebellion has made current generations to depend more on the digital world in their day to day life. The effectiveness of the digital world has changed the learner's perceptive towards the education system. The impulsivegrowth of technology has increased the popularity of Information and Communication Technology which has created a research scope in Computer network domain thus Computer...
Various research, experience and insights of teachers has shown that appropriation of information and communications technology (ICT) lead to improved learning of students and they are also suitable teaching methods. With the rapid advances in technology and the prevalence of various ICT in schools, schools must have thought-out work for good integrating ICT and visualization into the teaching of...
The tool TransPlaceSim was created for secure, easy to use and easy to extend tool to create, simulate and evaluate Petri net models. The paper deals with a new form of evaluation added to this tool which is evaluation of fuzzy Petri nets. In the first part, there are descriptions of Petri nets, fuzzy logic and possibilities of using fuzzy logic in teaching. Consequently, the tool TransPlaceSim is...
The performance of the left- and right-hands of a person may be different from each other. In general, people use one hand with a superior performance compared to the other hand where that hand is preferred for performing daily activities. It is critical to understand their preference for right or left hand use, especially in cases where the skills should be improved to use both hands precisely in...
Simulation and serious games (SSG) are often advocated as promising computer-based solutions supporting training and increasing the skills necessary to deal with new, complex and often unexpected situations. For emergency management (EM), there are organizations that already report unique benefits from utilizing SSGs, while others are waiting to find stronger evidence before procurement, or struggling...
Objective: Whole-cell (WC) modeling is a promising tool for biological research, bioengineering, and medicine. However, substantial work remains to create accurate comprehensive models of complex cells. Methods: We organized the 2015 Whole-Cell Modeling Summer School to teach WC modeling and evaluate the need for new WC modeling standards and software by recoding a recently published WC model in...
Virtualization has become a supportive approach for simulating system behaviour efficiently thanks to the revolution of computer and smart devices. In fact, the employment of running virtual tools that mimic the real physical world is nowadays a requirement in some fields as in e.g. industrial automation. This research work presents a virtual tool that simulates a real assembly line. The main features...
A Job-shop scheduling problem (JSP) can be formulated as a combinatorial optimization problem. Up to now, the problem has been solved by various metaheuristic methods such as Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Tabu Search (TS). Recently, practical methods for JSP considering various practical constraints have been developed. However, although one of the challenges for practical production environment is considering...
The fundamental purpose of educational management services is to support and ensure college students' growth and development. However, this kind of development is a complex, dynamic and accumulative system involved in all aspects. From the perspective of the dynamic system, four-dimensional theory of educational management services has been established, which consists of school education, social environment,...
Utilization of traditional teaching methods in education of medicine was considered as the most convenient way to introduce clinical problems and topics during long history. Thanks to the modern technologies and advances in multimedia, simulations and on-line availability obtained during last decades, this barrier was successfully overcome also in this area of higher education. Therefore, our activities...
The needs for traveling is increasing every year. Especially for aircraft transportation users, that are increasingly in demand because it is efficient in terms of time, terrain, and mileage. Additionally, an aircraft transport are currently categorized as the most advanced means of transportation. However aircraft transport still has the risk of accidents like other transportations. The availability...
Physical computing, and robotics in particular, is an excellent tool which can be used to help students understand many aspects of Engineering and Computer Science. However, obtaining and using suitable kits or hardware can involve significant financial outlay for a school. Additionally maintaining, storing and using the physical hardware presents many practical problems for teachers. These factors...
The research focuses on the practicality of applying Virtual Reality (VR) as tool for conveying engineering concepts to first year engineering students. It does this by presenting a VR platform aimed at achieving a simplified methodology for depicting and analyzing facility layout and production process. Current reality shows that Higher Education Institutions (HEI's) are towing the electronic teaching...
