of a new embedded curriculumtargeted to powerful embedded processors. This includes the design of a brand-new seniorundergraduate course along with a comprehensive tutorial on high-performance embeddedprogramming. We provided students with carefully designed activities that emphasize theoptimal usage of powerful microprocessors for embedded applications. The students becameproficient in techniques to maximize the performance of an embedded application by optimizingthe use of computer resources via techniques such as parallelism and pipelining. The embedded curriculum was deployed in a classroom and a laboratory setting. The learningmaterials (course notes, assignments, laboratory experiments, step-by-step tutorials) are madefreely

American c Society for Engineering Education, 2022 Developing Power Cycles Simulations for an Applied Thermodynamics CourseAbstractAs part of the rigorous curriculum for the Mechanical Engineering Technology (MET) students,laboratory courses supply a critical part of the engineering education through hands-onobservation, measurement, data acquisition, data analysis and interpretation, technical reporting,teamwork, and others. When the access to hands-on laboratory activities was abruptly interrupteddue to COVID-19, there was an immediate need 1) to find practical computer simulations, and/or2) to develop new simulations, both in support of the theory discussed during

Radio frequency signals can be used to performnon-invasive and device-free target localization of objects or entities in space. Radiotomographic imaging uses wireless sensor networks to form

Due to ease of assembly andcompact nature of the apparatus, Helmholtz coils are useful laboratory and testing tools.The objectives of the senior design project were to a) create collaborative senior designopportunities between the two institutions due to limited industry partnerships availability duringthe, and b) design a Helmholtz coil to be used with a temperature changing device between itstwo coils. The senior design team, graduate student, and faculty advisors were located at theUToledo. The senior design took on roles of project managers, safety manager, designer, andtester.

Typical topics covered in Electronics can be largely grouped intothe following four categories: op-amp applications, diodes and applications, bipolar junctiontransistors (BJTs), field-effect transistors (FETs). Closely related to the electronic platform furtherdiscussed in this paper is op-amp applications. When op-amps are covered in the course, variousop-amp circuits are discussed starting with inverting op-amps and non-inverting op-amps and then,comparators, integrators, differentiators, summing amplifiers, instrumentation amplifiers, and someother op-amp circuits. It is generally expected that students

Additionally, he has developed and taught fourteen different courses, many of which were in the areas of energy, sustainability, thermodynamics, dynamics and heat transfer. He has always made an effort to incorporate experiential learning into the classroom through the use of demonstrations, guest speakers, student projects and site visits. Dr. Kerzmann is a firm believer that all students learn in their own unique way. In an effort to reach all students, he has consistently deployed a host of teaching strategies into his classes, including videos, example problems, quizzes, hands-on laboratories

Studentswere sponsored by companies, who paid the workshop fee, and offered the students an internshipduring the summer of 2021.The content of the SASI workshop, spanning the full spectrum of automation, from fieldinstrumentation through enterprise control systems, is delivered through a mix of lectures,laboratory experiences, programming, and discussions with industry experts. The strength of theworkshop lies in the rich depth and variety of materials offered by a mix of eight industrialpractitioners and three academic instructors
