Practical skills such as Programming Languages or Digital Systems Design are learned by experience. Such skills are not mechanical processes, but rather a creative ones. For this reason, students should practice repeatedly and receive constant feedback in order to further progress in their learning process. Nevertheless, it is difficult for instructors to give constant and individual feedback in this...
Reading has always been important in the context of foreign language teaching and learning. It is the basic competence for the acquisition of language knowledge and the improvement of listening, speaking, writing and translating abilities. With the wide application of computer and internet to the use of language education, “computer-assisted language learning (CALL) has become increasingly integrated...
We demonstrate a high-fidelity transmitter based on the synthesis of multiple spectral slices and transmit a 60-GBd PDM-QPSK waveform over 4480 km with a Q2-factor of 8.71-dB using two slices.
We demonstrate a three-dimensional adiabatically-tapered mode-group-selective space-division multiplexer fabricated by ultrafast laser inscription. The device supports two mode groups at 1550 nm, has a loss of <4 dB, and is scalable to more modes.
Having students ask and answer questions among themselves can help deepen their understanding of learning content. Tablet devices are advantageous for such application due to their portability and capability to support not only text but also images and sound. A few elementary schools in Japan have already started introducing tablet devices into the classroom. This requires making some changes to the...
Economic environments involving information goods suffer from an extensive free-riding problem. For example, social loafing and lurking on discussion forums, leeching on file-sharing networks, and pirating of digital goods. Despite their use, it is not clear what types of interventions result in the best outcomes for all players involved. We conduct a lab experiment using a public goods game to explore...
With the continuous expansion of enrollment amount in China, the scale of graduate education is increasing quickly, and more and more attention is paid to the quality of graduate education. In this paper, we discuss how to improve the quality of postgraduate education from three aspects: postgraduate enrollment, academic level of advisors and instruction methods. Firstly, general characters of good...
The today concern in educational software is to allow students maximum flexibility and autonomy in their laboratory work, combined with higher accuracy of measurements. This paper present a client-server system used as a virtual instrument for laboratory, built with LabVIEW stand-alone subVI's, designed for several different laboratories in the Electrical Measurements Department. Such systems are...
A remote environment proposed in the paper enables the study electrical drives via the Web. The active learning concept of the distance education and the set of Internet-based laboratory works open the possibility to learn Basic and Advanced Courses of Electrical Drive providing a lot of benefits for both the learners and the faculty. The remote labs for the bachelor and master students are presented...
Mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems in buildings are becoming a greater proportion of construction costs and building operating expenses. As such, MEP systems are required content in the curricula of construction programs. The current paper describes the implementation of computer-based laboratory exercises covering plan reading, material quantity take-offs, and basic material and labor estimating...
Memoirs on history of origin and development of researches in the field of microelectronics, technology of microelectronics in S.L. Sobolev Institute of Mathematics of the Siberian Branch and in Novosibirsk and electronic industrial enterprises of Novosibirsk are presented.
Unibral is a program that supports research and education cooperation actions between German and Brazilian universities. This work in progress paper will describe a new version of such an old experience of Unibral, a project between the Federal University of Amazonas and the University of Stuttgart. This edition started in 2013 and joined two institutes related to the electrical and computer engineering...
This paper explores whether engaging embedded electronic systems students in the creation of, as opposed to simply the use of, lab equipment improves their motivation to practice, and thereby their ability to acquire, discipline-specific skills. The specific piece of laboratory equipment considered is the Microchip In Circuit Debugger, inclusive of header, for PIC16F mid-range micro-controllers. A...
Work in Progress: Augmented reality (AR) is an emerging technology of high potential. It has already been applied in educational fields, although its usefulness and usability have not always being empirically tested and validated. This paper proposes the development of an AR software helping Computer Engineering students understand concepts and processes in embedded systems during laboratory exercises...
The advances in information and communication technologies are not only have revolutionized the society daily routine, but also offer a new way of interaction between community elements. In politics, the Internet has been used by political figures as a medium to interact with their constituents. Specifically, the social media have been enabling more interactive activities in political campaign. This...
In this paper, we propose a model which can measure players' interest in visited places based on visiting time and we apply the model to a typical location-based game. The results in the conducted experiments show that our model works well in both simulation and a real game and that it outperforms an existing model.
This paper proposes a method for online adjustment of the AI's strength in a fighting game. The adjustment aim is that of maintaining the AI's strength slightly above its opponent's level. The proposed method adopts the k-nearest neighbor algorithm for predicting the opponent's next action and uses this information together with a game simulator for determining the next action of the AI, leading to...
The world we live in now is defined by the word “speed” and any device, technology, or system that doesn't keep up is rejected or replaced immediately. Because of this, one of the biggest concerns today is “optimization”. Its purpose is to reduce the impact on the user's device. The Anti-Virus industry is also confronting with this challenge. Although the first concern is to keep the user safe, providing...
In 1962 -- 1971 Kazan Computer Plant upgraded and developed magnetic tape drives (MTD) of M-20, M-220, and M-222 computers. The paper discusses the history of their upgrading and development, software engineers, cooperation between researchers in the field of digital magnetic recording and various organizations with reference to the main technical solutions.
