Buildings, Smart Home, e-health care, are but a few names that have made it into thepopular press. IBM calls this the building of “a Smarter Planet” while Cisco uses the term“Smart+Connected Communities.” Recently, in engineering circles, these types of systems havebecome known as cyber-physical systems. These large-scale and not-so-large-scale applicationsare becoming possible due to the convergence of several key technologies. Essentially, throughthe use of networked embedded controllers (known as ambient intelligence) and complex sensorsand actuators (i.e. sensor networks) one is able to create intelligent infrastructure systems thathave the potential to change almost every aspect of mankind’s interaction with the environment.Presently

the National Academyof Engineering as well as the interdisciplinary nature of engineering. Students were introducedto the design process, and faculty came into the class to talk about their research with twothoughts in mind. The first was to talk about the different kinds of engineers who work on thesame research projects and to identify the role of each major. The second was to address howthey use the design process in their research. Faculty interactions occurred both through labtours and through classroom presentations. The final project for the course was to incorporatethe design concepts discussed in class by designing a new technology that would help solve asmall and focused piece of a grand challenge of their choice.

Feasibility of interactive eTextbooks with computationally intense contentAbstractWe evaluate the technical feasibility of creating pedagogically valuable, highly interactive contentin eTextbooks for the purpose of education in computationally intense fields. This research wasmotivated by the observation that emerging eTextbook technologies could help enhance theeducation of engineering students. Engineers often want to experiment and to be able to quicklysee meaningful results. They want to receive immediate feedback or response for their inputs.They want interactive learning tools. Engineers want trial-and-error with a realistic system, withwhich they can interact, even if it is a virtual one. The most
