Plagiarism is a serious problem identified amongst research community. Plagiarism has been around for centuries, but with the use of Internet and easy access to material in electronic format has made it easier to plagiarize materials of others. On the other hand plagiarism detection is now as easy as plagiarizing a document. There are a number of anti-plagiarism software available either freely or...
The aim of this work is to analyze inclusions of samples from selected materials using metrotomography. The main part of the problem was correct methodology of software processing of the measured data acquired by computed tomography equipment Carl Zeiss METROTOM1500. For various settings of the input parameters was investigated expected output data to a known set of defects. Comparison of the effects...
This paper reports on some salient characteristics of how a large (21-foot wide) whiteboard wall mediates and facilitates the work of a software development team. While most research on whiteboards report on their use in design conversations, our data show this large whiteboard wall fulfilling 59 different uses over a 17 month period. This paper describes this whiteboard wall, categorizes the uses,...
CAM systems are most widespread way to create cnc programs. Possibility of optimization, simulation of machining, shorter lead time, and flexibility are biggest benefits. Some of most used CAM systems are GibbsCam, PowerMill, AlphaCam, Surfcam, and Edgecam. Next article shows making of NC program in Edgecam. Edgecam was chosen because is user friendly and simple programs can be created without deeper...
Etextbooks offer the potential to change the way faculty teach and students learn. One approach to providing etextbooks enables faculty to custom tailor traditional "flat" paper textbooks from major publishers by embedding videos and annotating them with comments. We conducted a lab study in which participants read a chapter in a computer networking book either in paper form, or using an...
With the widespread coverage of the Internet, e-learning environments have greatly advanced. Students have increasing opportunities to access and interact both with course materials and with classmates. However, the functionalities of e-learning systems nowadays may not satisfy students across the full range of courses, especially computer software courses. The study makes use of the social networking...
Although flipping classroom is not a new idea in education, implementing flipped class is somewhat a new trend. Flipping classrooms involve students in using their textbooks, online materials, and other useful resources before coming to class. Consequently, students can spend valuable class meetings on problem-solving activities instead of lectures. Positive feedback from utilizing the flipped classroom...
In this paper, we demonstrate how a comprehensive digital tool for materials-related teaching can be used to promote engineering knowledge, skills and understanding in an accreditation-friendly way. We consider CES EduPack, originally developed at Cambridge University (UK). A description of important features and how it is introduced in a first year class of Materials Science and Engineering at a...
Plagiarism and cheating are critical issues that jeopardize quality assurance in higher education. When it comes to e-learning and m-learning, fair use of information becomes even more crucial. This case study is an attempt to imprint academics' knowledge, beliefs and strategies regarding plagiarism and cheating. It was found that most of academics were well informed but they did not spend time in...
During machining operations, user safety is a big factor need to consider. The more interaction of the user with the machine, the more the user is prone to accident due to mechanical or tool failures. Like in CNC systems, especially in milling and router machines, user interaction can be seen during manual tool change operations. This study presents the development of an automatic tool changer for...
Frugal innovations in products are vital in developing countries to reach price sensitive customers that seek robust products at low prices. Similarly frugal service innovations can create larger markets among customers that cannot afford expensive conventional services. While frugal innovations in products are easily identified by expert examination, frugal innovations in services cannot be identified...
The Refugee Interactive Skills for Employment (RISE) project aims to make use of games-based applications to engage with refugees in identifying and combating barriers to employment. The project has performed research into issues faced by EU refugees when seeking employment and has worked with these refugees to co-develop games-based learning (GBL) applications to improve the employability of refugees...
Trends in aviation systems continue a natural progression towards certain characteristics: autonomy, complexity, safety-criticality. These trends are largely inevitable, as new technology offers new capabilities (e.g. advanced sensors, fast processing, and ubiquitous connectivity at low cost and high availability). However, these trends drastically intensify certain verification and validation (V&V)...
This work establishes a tourism venue exhibition system according to the reality of venue distribution, respectively, showing the theme of every venue, appearance and highlight. Firstly, collect relevant material, then use screenshots and photoshop software to modify material and establish a material library, then use flash software to further edit material and components. Finally, the relationship...
Advances in engineering methods and technology, modern system complexity, and the need to work across cultures and multiple time zones have influenced significant change in the practice of engineering. The same cannot be said of engineering education. This paper describes the Digital Home case study project that covers full life-cycle development of a software product (project management, requirements...
This work falls within the framework of CHAMS I project funded by IRESEN (Research Institute for Solar Energy and New Energy). Its principal objective is to develop a low cost solar field based on a new generation of Fresnel collectors. To attempt this goal, we have developed a code package for scientific computing in order to help in design of the desired solar field. This numerical tool is able...
Software professionals routinely use sophisticated problem solving and design skills in their communication with one another and other stakeholders in the software process. We wish to introduce our computer science and software engineering students to the communication challenges of real software development and help them to develop skills to meet these challenges. We describe our guided inquiry approach...
Open online courses are a method of online lecturing whose application in education is not bounded by space and location constraints. The successful implementation of open courses requires conceptual changes in how instructors and students behave in open unbounded education environment. There are some emerging open courses for teaching specific topics of Software Engineering. However, it is still...
This paper presents the implementation of a Virtual Instrumentation (VI) based system which is used for remote monitoring of biogas production activities. The proposed measurement approach was designed and is used by students during Measurement and Instrumentation lectures. It combines hardware and software knowledge while allowing the users to interact with a domain of great interest — biogas production...
In this paper we will present a case study and an analysis conducted to evaluate the use of lecture learning as a helpful companion to the classical teaching. This effort is done around the Opencast Matterhorn software, a system that is able to record classroom presentations and publish them on a LMS automatically, without the intervention of a technician dedicated to it. So we delivered a university-wide...
