Also, performancestandards were introduced to evaluate the level of mastery of the content that the student isexpected to attain. Performance standards transform the content knowledge into explicitquantifiable data and assess the proficiency levels that students are expected to demonstrate inproblem-solving progress.Standards-based

Themotion estimation algorithm is the most computationally intensive part of MPEG encoding,typically requiring almost half of the computation time.10 Most of the MPEG-4 encoding wouldbe handled by a pair of soft processor cores implemented on the FPGA, similar to the proposalby Kumala et al.11 as illustrated in Figure 2. Here both the “Master” and “Slave” blocks wouldbe implemented by the soft processor cores. The critical computation in the motion estimationengine is the block matching routine that uses a Sum of Absolute Difference (SAD) calculation.A recent paper proposed a parallel adder tree for efficiently computing the values required by theSAD-based block matching algorithm.12 This student research project involved

Engineers andprofessionals of all fields routinely tackle problems to which they do not have ready solutions,yet the educational experience of most American students typically involves a smoothly paved,pre-planned route to the “correct answer.” Perhaps the most valuable aspect of this form oflearning is that it is something unknown that must be mastered. Making video is not terriblydifficult to learn to do at a basic level, but it requires practice and persistence. Persistence in theface of adversity is a valuable attribute, but one that may be lacking among today’s collegestudents depending on levels of maturity and intellectual development.Perhaps this is a factor that partially explains some of the observed differences
