Many university-level electrical engineering courses continue to use textbooks as curriculum scaffolds, prescribed texts, and/or reference volumes. Textbook reliance is even more pronounced in courses that teach foundational principles of the discipline, such as introductory circuit theory. This paper reports on the conceptual coverage of introductory electric circuit theory as presented in textbooks...
A lot of carrying workers wonder whether it is good to wear a waist support tool to protect the waist or not. Although the qualitative analysis of waist support tool is generally used for the evaluation, there is not yet the evaluation of quantitative analysis. In this paper, we proposed the method of quantitative analysis in order to evaluate the effectiveness of waist support tool through human...
This report presents the results of the research, study and formation of the array of archival documents as a base for the biography of academician Guriy Ivanovich Marchuk, a distinguished Russian scientist and organizer of science.
Mathematics and physics courses are recognized as a crucial foundation for the study of engineering, and often are prerequisite courses for the basic engineering curriculum. But how does performance in these prerequisite courses affect student performance in engineering courses? This study evaluated the relationship between grades in prerequisite math and physics courses and grades in subsequent electrical...
The contribution describes the procedure of developing the first remote experiment of Archimedes' Principle by using Easy Remote ISES. The experiment is available on http://remotelab9.truni.sk as a part of e-laboratory (http://kf.truni.sk/remotelab) in Trnava.
This section dedicated to makers brings together a wide range of people who give their own tour through the world of making. In "Why Scientists Should Make," by Jun Axup, "What Do I Make?," by AnnMarie Thomas, "Adults Are the Future," by Ariel Waldman, "Women Who Make: Undercounted as Makers and Underwhelmed by Maker Spaces," by Susan Faulkner, "A Maker...
The opportunity to work for the first time with real data from the LHC experiments, at CERN, becomes reality for students around the world through the Masterclass Hands on CERN, the outreach activity organized by CERN where more than 10000 students from 37 countries and 160 universities take part each year. Through video conferencing students from different countries get together to discuss the results...
Historically, Computer science emerged from electrical engineering in the 1960s. From the content of some unpublished documents and rather non-well-known papers by Lotfi A. Zadeh it is argued that the emergences of Computer science and Fuzzy Set Theory have been interlinked. Zadeh's task as Chair of the Electrical Engineering Department in Berkeley in the 1960s, his activities in Education of Engineering...
The extended Church-Turing thesis posits that any computable function can be calculated efficiently by a probabilistic Turing machine. If this thesis held true, the global effort to build quantum computers might ultimately be unnecessary. The thesis would however be strongly contradicted by a physical device that efficiently performs a task believed to be intractable for classical computers. BosonSampling...
We report an experimental demonstration of BosonSampling: an intermediate-model of quantum-computing. We verify that the scattering probabilities for three-photon interference are given by permanents of sub-matrices of a larger unitary matrix describing the optical network.
Biomedical engineering is a growing and useful industry, and as such it is important to educate people about it. Due to the nature of the topic it can be difficult to put across field-related concepts to those not in the field. This paper seeks to perform a preliminary investigation into presenting an example of biomedical engineering to pre-university students. By simplifying the physical aspect...
The purpose of this paper is to propose character about inner-product and outer-product of vague set, one side it consummates and develops vague set theory, the other side, it prepares practical application to decision-making and colligate-judge.
One can find many learning aids and simulations of physical phenomena on the market — provided as a standalone application or as part of an educational package. However, only a few of them allow for the building of interactive experiments: experiments similar to those that should be conducted in physics laboratories at schools. Gdańsk University of Technology decided to fill this market niche by designing...
The article is based on the research of authors with sound experience in education of Physics and ICT at the secondary schools as well as at the university. Research was oriented on possessed knowledge and skills analysis and the e-learning influence on their development or application. The question of preferred knowledge, skills and competencies is and was influenced by the needs of the market. The...
Preconception is a kind of simple concept towards daily life. Some preconceptions are different from scientific concepts. Because of the specialty of physics, students of junior high school are greatly influenced by preconceptions during their studies. These preconceptions which are different from scientific concepts will block the correct cognitions of students. This thesis establishes a countermeasure...
Grid computing is emerging as the foundation upon which virtual collaborations can be built among large organizations with the aim of integrating and sharing computer resources, and thus offering performance speed and resource availability, which is unattainable by any single institutional technology resources. With the level of increase in the number of tertiary institutions in Africa, and the attendant...
In combination with the characteristics of adult education, this paper presents the design and implementation of an virtual practical platform for adult education based on internet. The platform includes preparation, operation, test and community modules. It is valuable to those who intend to develop adult education, advocate lifelong learning, but have no space and financial resources to build practice...
In this paper, we introduce a recursive construction of p-ary bent functions, where p is an odd prime. Several new non-quadratic bent functions over fields with characteristic 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23 are found by computer search, all of which are homogeneous. A ternary bent function whose algebraic degree attains the upper bound is given. So far it is the only known example with this property.
