Visualization for Electrical Engineering: From Embedded Systems to the Internet1. Introduction The emerging Internet-of-Things (IoT) concept is considered to be the next technologicalrevolution [1]. It describes various technologies and research disciplines that enable the Internetto reach out into the real world of physical everyday objects. By 2020, it is expected that 25-50billion “things” to be connected to the Internet. Gartner, the world's leading informationtechnology research and advisory company, projects IoT will result in $1.9 trillion in globaleconomic growth [2]-[3]. While today there are just 300,000 developers contributing to the IoT,a new report projects that an estimated 4.5 million developers are needed by 2020 [4

These authorsexplain that capstone design courses are commonly used to demonstrate the achievement ofprescribed engineering competencies. The development of cornerstone (or introductory) designcourses was prompted by desires to connect new students to the engineering profession in anengaging and meaningful fashion. The value of introducing design thinking and applying project-based learning is emphasized as means to acquire design skills. The Conceive-Design-Implement-Operate (CDIO) process is suggested as a means to infuse design throughout thecurriculum.Design thinking is characterized as the designer’s ability to tolerate ambiguity, addressuncertainty, iterate, maintain a systems perspective, work in a team, make decisions, andcommunicate

By emphasizingmodules, rather than entire courses, our faculty create things that other faculty (both here and atother schools) can insert into existing courses.
