Authors: Darius Miles Gatson, Houston Baptist University; Ryan Duane Barnes, Houston Baptist University
Tagged Topics: Diversity

RISC-V Instruction Set Architecture (ISA). Toimplement this project, we used the SN74LS283N 4-bit full adder IC, the SiFive HiFive1 Rev B boardthat hosts a 32-bit RISC-V processor, breadboard, LEDs, and few resistors. To program the circuit,we used Visual Studio Code with the PlatformIO extension to allow deployment and debugging of theRISC-V assembly code on the HiFive board. The goal of this project was to demonstrate the full 4-bitadder truth table by cycling through different inputs and displaying the adder output using LED lights.The input to the adder was driven by onboard GPIO pins that were actuated through RISC-V assemblycode. Using the SiFive HiFive1 Rev B manuals, we identified the base memory addresses of the GPIOpins and the

This paper presented a seniordesign project that implemented object detection on Raspberry Pi via machine learning models. It isto employ Raspberry Pi Kits and a web-camera to detect predefined objects by running mobile deeplearning models. Moreover, it was extended to recognize weapons in images with transfer learningtechniques, which is to fine-tune the models on new annotated datasets collected from Internet.Specifically, it applied a Google USB accelerator to improve the detection speed. Preliminaryvalidation results demonstrate that the models can effectively detect general

5 Summary and ConclusionsAMAR is a four-wheeled, tracked, robot built from T-slot aluminum tubing, 3D-printed materials,and connective components. This robotic system consists of several subsystems. It was completelydeveloped by the students and it was a challenging project. Additional tests are needed to verify theML algorithms’ performance. Also, we have identified several areas for improvement. First,switching back to Tensorflow (from TF-Lite) should fix most errors in plant identification eventhough it will take around 250 msec. Second, we plan to research other mapping tools to be used inthe setup mode. Finally, we should offload the computational unit (Raspberry Pi) to mainly run theML algorithms

Each team is limited to a $100budget to ensure that all teams compete on a level playing field.Interdisciplinary teaming is encouraged through a constraint that all teams must include five toseven members with at least two freshman engineering students, one ocean engineering student,and one student from any other department on campus, such as marine biology. The intent is tocross-pollinate ideas between disciplines and encourage students to work outside of their domain.Once approved, they work together to complete the project, demonstrate their solution, andcompete for monetary awards. An essential goal of eSMART is to foster more interactions amongstudents on this small campus that would not have otherwise happened. For the first

In fact, the assertion appears even more fitting given the noticeablecongruence between the academic rigor of engineering programs and Ignelzi’s observation thatstudents often face educational challenges which exceed the academic support they receive. As itrelates to engineering programs, Ignelzi’s theorization makes appropriate use of Kegan’s workwhich previously acknowledged students’ dismay in constantly feeling “in over their heads.” MethodologyUnlike the structured IPA study from which this secondary project evolved, this work presents ageneric exploratory style of qualitative inquiry35.
