Most colleges and universities have software that helps withthese tasks, but it is not well suited to a technical curriculum with extensive prerequisites,laboratory/equipment/software constraints, and faculty availability. The result is a lot of manualprocessing of spreadsheets and timetables.At Western Carolina University (WCU) there are five residential undergraduate programs thatshare a number of courses. In addition, there are two undergraduate programs that are offeredoff-campus and a residential and

Work-in-Progress: A Web-Based Tool to Assess Computational ThinkingAbstractWhen President Obama unveiled his plan to give all students in America the opportunity to learncomputer science [1], discussions about Computational Thinking (CT) began in earnest in manyorganizations across a wide range of disciplines. However, Jeannette Wing stated the importanceof CT for everyone a decade earlier in her landmark essay [2]. Since then, several people andorganizations have posted their own definition of CT, which presents a challenge in being able toassess CT understanding and awareness in people. In an effort to build consensus on how to bestassess CT, the authors have developed a web-based tool that will enable CT experts globally

recommendations on how SEP-CyLE should be implemented in classrooms.The main contributions of this work are as follows: 1. The cyberlearning environment or tool that was developed with funding from the NSF was considered to be useful and user friendly by students who used the tool. 2. Gamification was considered by students to be motivating. 3. Students suggested that the tool should be used as an integral part of the course rather than as an add-on.1 IntroductionEmployment outlook for students with computer science degrees is very good.

In an era of mobile and ubiquitous computing, a competent embeddeddevice should have a real-time operating system (RTOS) to make full use of its potentials and toaccommodate task needs. Deploying an RTOS also makes the programming job of embeddedsystem engineers easier. Instead of embedded system engineers writing their own code

Some data is collected on a small cluster ofinexpensive consumer-grade hardware to explore the feasibility of this algorithm.Context The Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is an algorithm for computing the Discrete FourierTransform (DFT) of a sequence of samples of a signal. The DFT of a signal in time or space is arepresentation of that signal in the frequency domain. The DFT is a useful tool in digital signalprocessing because it describes how a digital signal is made up of complex sinusoidal components.The 1-dimensional DFT of a signal y is defined aswhere N is the number of samples in the signal being

Graph-based models use the graph (node and edges) to represent thebuilding structure and model the occupancy dynamics using some flow or queuing network [2]. Whileagent-based simulation has the advantage of being able to represent each occupant’s behavior and decisionmaking in detail, computation cost increases proportionally with the number of agents and their agentsmaking it difficult to simulate large occupancy areas such as a game stadium, airports, rail terminals, etc.On the other hand, a graph-based model assumes occupants as a homogeneous mass and models their flowacross the graph

Studies carried out by Amâncio (9-10) demonstratedthe existence of gender patterns in access and mobility processes to which are linked gender biasesand stereotypes that place women on the "margins" of knowledge production. Recent studiesdeveloped in Portugal (15) describe how women and men are socially perceived according toessentialist dichotomous principles, which favour the invisibility and devaluation of women.Legislation on the promotion of gender equality in educational institutions in Portugal is relativelyrecent compared to other European countries and it is the result of a

Theuntrusted zone is for all incoming internet traffic which is untrusted by default, just before it goesthrough the network’s firewall. The trusted zone is for any traffic that is on the internal network.Any resources that the business provides for public consumption, like HTTP requests to thecompany’s webserver, does not need to be on the internal network for security purposes.
