This paper describes in detail a successful training program developed for sessional (part-time or nonpermanent) laboratory demonstrators employed in the Electrical Engineering Department of an Australian university. Such demonstrators play an important role in teaching practical concepts and skills in engineering. The success of the program relies on a centralized approach coordinated by a carefully...
The emergence of Big Data and Data Intensive Systems as specialized fields in computing is motivating the development of new courses and curricula. The biggest challenge is to define coherent and stable intended learning outcomes in a highly dynamic field. It is also necessary to balance between proper knowledge acquisition by student and the required time investment of teacher. We carefully looked...
Nowadays, Scientists are supposed to have the obligation to inform public about what they are doing and what affect their research has to the society, and comparing with other professionals, scientists have incomparable advantages in pubic science communication activities. In China, scientists' engagement in public outreach activities has attracted more and more attention of both government and science...
This paper proposes a new web platform for educational activities for helping in the experimental work and the professional development of engineering students. The fundamental idea is to connect conventional theory study spaces, such as the classroom and home, through the web platform proposed with experimental training tools in the hands-on laboratory. What is proposed is a new focus on classroom...
The National Institution for Academic Degrees and University Evaluation (NIAD-UE) is engaged in awarding of academic degrees based on the accumulation of applicant's earned academic credits. These credits must be classified according to the contents of syllabuses and pre-determined criteria for the chosen disciplinary field. This course classification is carried out by the sub-committees whose members...
This paper proposes an approach to outreach activities for school students in an industrial robotics laboratory. Students' practice in programming and operating robot manipulators is focused on training spatial skills. We present two case studies in which a robotics workshop and course were given to different categories of students. Both case studies indicated students' highly positive evaluation...
This research proposes the use of Artificial Neural Networks to diagnose industrial networks communication via Profibus DP Protocol. These diagnostics are based on information provided by the Physical Layer from the Profibus DP Protocol. In order to analyze the physical layer, an Artificial Neural Network first analyzes signal samples transmitted through the industrial network. In case these signals...
In this article, the database of sEMG corresponding to the six gestures with two,four and eight channels is collected and established through increasing the number of surface electrode muscle telecommunication reasonably.Two-channel method used in the previous studies in laboratory is improved to make the method suitable for four-channel and eight-channel.On this basis ,the activity of sEMG is detected,the...
This paper gives brief presentation of one ongoing Tempus project dealing with increasing attractiveness of engineering education through innovative teaching methods as well as trough the strengthening of university-secondary vocational schools collaboration. The project objectives and key activities, which would be carried out in order to produce the expected results, as well as project consortium,...
Innovational interchair scientific-educational laboratory of design technologies for specialist training in the field of polymers in Kazan National research Technological University has been created. Three projects have been developed and are being realized in “Technologies design, content and specialist training organization in the field of polymers” trend.
Development of the educational technology in field of the engineer's training have received great attention in recent years. The new information technology will significantly improve the methods of technical discipline teaching and thus level of the engineering students. This paper describes the results of IT using for virtual course creation and presents the structure of multimedia laboratory course...
In this paper new conception of technical teachers' professional competency improving is considered. There are several examples of different ways for young or experienced teachers training. Projective education, working with projects and other training forms of pedagogical-psychological competency upgrading are described.
Codebook-based representations have been effectively employed for writer identification. Most of the codebook-based methods generate a codebook by clustering a set of patterns extracted from an independent data set. The probability of occurrence of the codebook patterns in a given writing is then used to characterize its author. This study investigates the hypothesis that the codebook is merely a...
Virtualization has undergone a revitalization over the past decade due to increased system performance and the support for virtualization in commodity hardware. Industry is adopting virtualization to reduce operating costs and improve reliability. Academia is looking to improve experiential learning opportunities and building scalable computer laboratories. The resulting "race to the cloud"...
Computer-aided Pronunciation Training (CAPT) technologies enable the use of automatic speech recognition to detect mispronunciations in second language (L2) learners' speech. In order to further facilitate learning, we aim to be able to develop a principle-based method for generating a gradation of the severity of mispronunciations. This paper presents an approach towards gradation that is motivated...
In Japan, recently many laboratories are adopting Idea-Marathon System (IMS) for creative training of their researchers. It becomes more important how IMS can contribute to improve creativity through the typical IMS training in quantitative analysis. This paper explains analysis of empirical experiment for measuring effect of creativity improvement before and after IMS training method for about a...
In order to effectively promote data center construction, several aspects of data centre construction such as the requirement analysis, general framework, network construction and cloud computing platform construction are discussed in this paper.
For 20 years, nine institutions in the University of Texas System and five partnering community colleges have collaborated to promote STEM undergraduate research through the Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (LSAMP). The primary programmatic activity of the Alliance is its Summer Research Academy (SRA) which has engaged a total of 1,565 undergraduates. Of these, 242 have been supported...
This paper presents the experience in implementing the curriculum of the Training Program in Computer Science Degree for the Social Management of the Bolivarian University of Venezuela which is based on project-based learning as a means of integration of training university in accordance with the needs of the country. The axis modular curriculum is integrated into the basic unit, called the project,...
