According to present situation of the network engineering professional training mode, This paper focuses on the way how to improve the students ability of practice and innovation, discusses on the specialty training goal, curriculum system, experimental system, practice and innovation system and so on, finds out the problem in current training system, puts forward a new way of network engineering...
There are three sections, an Information, a Tester, and a Decision Maker, that supporting decision making in BBVet (Balai Besar Veteriner) Yogyakarta,. During the time, data have been delivered and shared between those sections manually thus there is inefficiency in the decision-making process. A Decision Support System (DSS) is proposed to overcome the problem. Infolab 3-link as a decision support...
This contribution describes the experience of updating a basic digital electronics course in a Computer Science grade as a consequence of the new grades introduced by the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) in a Spanish university. The group under study is special in because it is taught in English under a pilot scheme carried out by the University of Seville. Besides this singularity, a deep update...
In this paper we describe changes in a subject of digital logic design to fit the new plan of Bologna. The subject has a significant increase in hours of laboratory and students compared to previous years. We present the results of a student satisfaction survey and a comparison of the success of overcoming the remaining subject compared to past years.
Under the framework of the new Spanish degree curricula, the project for innovation and educational improvement EvalTICs, has as main purpose to help the teacher in the task of evaluating the activity of the student through the creation of software tools. Besides facilitating the allocation of a quantitative assessment, it will contribute to the achievement of the learning objectives of the student.
The rapid growth of fast and reliable communication networks provides an easy exchange of information and commands between computers connected to sites of wide area networks such as the internet. Engineers from far away workstations can operate various remote equipment through the internet. Engineering is transformed into a constructive joint effort within the framework of simulation and exploration...
This paper focuses and analyzes the importance of introducing and teaching the design of Printed Circuit Board at university. Usually this subject is not taught, but it has a great relevance in the final electronic product. In the paper some previous experiences are presented and the methodology and planning of a subject is proposed.
This paper presents a novel approach to studying electronics disciplines in technical educational programs based on a Mobile Studio Laboratory paradigm developed at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Several implementations are discussed and a comparative analysis between the Mobile Studio laboratories and the current standard ones is presented. This new educational approach provides an interactive...
Industry demand for highly-skilled digital VLSI and embedded systems engineers has made the teaching of design a challenging task for undergraduate educators. Increasingly challenging electronic design automation (EDA) environments call for a variety of skills in engineering graduates which necessitate not only industrial skills but also fundementals in basic science and digital design. These urgent...
The theory of graphs, with its diverse applications in natural (Chemistry, Biology) and social sciences in general and in theoretical computer science in particular, is becoming an important component of the mathematics curriculum in colleges and universities all over the world. In this paper we present some theoretical results about some topological indices, like the Wiener index W, Degree distance...
Existence of language laboratory for students has an important role in improving communication skills both in oral and written. Development of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) moves language laboratory toward digital one. One feature that is implemented in digital language laboratory system is remote presentation. This feature enables sending teacher slide across the network, to every...
The universal software radio peripheral (USRP) family of products has become a popular platform for hardware-based research and test bed validations conducted by universities in the software defined radio (SDR) and cognitive radio (CR) fields. With the recently released version of National Instruments (NI) LabVIEW, the USRP now offers a scalable, simpler, and easier to use combined platform. The new...
In this article, we propose a registration algorithm to estimate geometric transformation between two images. It is a method based on the Analytical Fourier Mellin Transform (AFMT) phase correlation. We are interested in geometric distortions caused by the effects of similarities. As an application, we propose the mosaicing. The method performance was evaluated on simulated and real images.
The process and experience of designing and developing an embedded systems course that serves different disciplines at the University of Jordan together with its associated laboratory is reported. The course serves three different departments with varying requirements and student initial backgrounds. The stages of the design process of the course and associated labs are explored. Emphasis is given...
This paper presents the "Gestor de Coevaluación Orientado a Grupos" (GCOG, Co-evaluation Manager Focused on Groups) for Moodle, a software tool to support peer evaluation when the students are organized using Moodle's groups and groupings. The main functionalities of this Moodle module are: a view to edit of co-evaluation questionnaires, a view to show those questionnaires adapted to each...
A 2 × 2 between-subjects experiment was conducted to examine the effects of the type of artificial agent (robot vs. computer) and the role of the agent (ally vs. enemy) on people's perceptions and evaluations of the agent when playing a video game. Participants perceived that playing the game with a robot was more enjoyable and easier than playing with a computer. Regardless of the agent type, participants...
Quantitative phase imaging, i.e., measuring the map of pathlength shifts due to the specimen of interest, has been developing rapidly over the past decade. The main methods and exciting applications to biomedicine will be reviewed.
We have been exploring the design of an advanced collaboration platform to support scientists in a national animal health laboratory to work collaboratively across a physical containment barrier. This paper describes the design considerations based on the findings from a field study of the collaboration processes in this particular environment. We emphasize the need of providing flexible support for...
This paper describes a course in programmable logic design and computer architecture as it is taught at the University of Newcastle, Australia. The course is designed around a major design project and has two supplemental assessment tasks that are also described. The context of the Computer Engineering degree program within which the course is taught is presented, and some student outcomes are discussed.
Control System Theory is a compulsory subject to be taken by engineering students in various disciplines. However to relate the theoretical knowledge with the real control system application is very challenging in a conventional faced to faced pedagogy due to the time, facilities, cost and location constraint. This paper discusses the design and implementation of a web based to support theoretical...
