(and their managers orrecord labels) had to set aside time and money to commit to being at a recording studio for aspecified amount of time. They traveled to the studio, booked living arrangements, hauled theirmusical gear, and worked under a specified time schedule allotted to them. They paid a soundengineer for their time so that at the end of that specified time, they would have a physical copyof a master recording. This would then get replicated onto the recording media of the day so thatit could be shipped to merchandising locations for sale to consumers. Those physical copiesfinally allowed consumers to listen to the musicians at their leisure, assuming they had thephysical means for playback.Computer programs and the internet have

electricaland computer engineering (ECE) students, the pervasive use of DSP and DIP in wide range ofresearch and industrial areas has caused other engineering and science majors to seek out thesecourses. If the student has a solid mathematical background and a familiarity with topics suchas linear systems theory, they can master the material in DSP and DIP courses, albeit sometimeswith a higher degree of required effort than an ECE major. Having a class with a more diversebackground such as this increases the challenge to help the students learn the material.Many research projects need to acquire data using cameras or other imaging systems, and usuallyneed to manipulate and process this image data in various ways. This is no longer just an area forECE

Even with this variation, the majority ofstudents across all three groups rated conducting research as moderately, very, or extremelyimportant. While students who planned on a career in industry rated research as less importantthan their peers, this difference was not significant for One-year Masters students planning acareer in industry (mean rating = 2.93) as compared to those with other career plans (mean rating= 3.56); 𝑡(21) = 1.291, 𝑝 = 0.211 nor for Ph.D. students planning a career in industry (meanrating = 4.27) as compared to those with other

underdevelopment (1). The current focus of this development is CAPTIVATE, a serious game to assiststudent veterans in mastering the calculus and physics skills that are necessary prerequisites tothe main engineering curriculum. Building on the development and lessons learned fromMAVEN, a game developed previously to help student veterans master precalculus skills, thedesign and initial implementation for CAPTIVATE involves careful consideration regardinggame and instructional design. Many of the positive aspects from the design of MAVEN havebeen implemented in CAPTIVATE. First, the overall framework developed for MAVEN hasbeen reused. This modular framework involves both a model and process that combine game,instructional, and software design in a way

majority of the campuses offering masters degrees in a variety of fields. The UC is aresearch-oriented system, with campuses offering undergraduate, Masters, and PhD degrees.Except in cooperation with certain UC campus or in other special circumstances, the CSU cam-puses do not offer PhD degrees.In the CSU, 22 of the 23 campuses offer a degree program in computer science [7]. Of those 22programs, 12 of the programs are ABET accredited [1]. At the UC, 9 of the 10 campuses offer aCS degree, of which 6 programs are ABET accredited. Overall, for public 4-year universities inCalifornia that offer a computer science degree, the degree is ABET accredited at approximately60% of the campuses.There are approximately 50 private 4-year universities in

At the end of this laboratory, thestudents should have mastered solutions for correcting frequency offset and timing errors, as wellas important tools such as eye diagrams (see Figure 4).Figure 4: Example of an eye diagram possessing an initially unknown offset error. The eye diagramhas been upsampled by twenty times so we can examine the transitions more closely and find theoptimal sampling instant.Laboratory 3 – Frame Synchronization, Message Decoding, and Source

This paper shares the processof developing a strategic plan for EFIC and details from the resulting strategic plan that emerged.Introduction It is well known that new faculty must quickly master ‘early career survival skills’ andbecome productive researchers, effective teachers, and conscientious colleagues who providemeaningful service to their institution. Mastering these different responsibilities is a challengingprocess that can lead to considerable stress. Boice [1] found that 95% of new faculty take four tofive years to become fully productive in research and

firms thatused TQM effectively did fare significantly better in profitability. However, it must be emphasized that TQM must permeate throughout the entireorganization in order to be really effective. When TQM and PBL are applied to aneducational organization, one must recognize the fact that it will take several years for it topermeate throughout the entire university administrative structure. In reality, it may take muchmore time for its benefits to be reaped by students and the learning community. Furthermore, all educators agree that the 21st century workplace does not needemployees who have just mastered a particular body of information. In reality, one prefers tohave liberally educated engineers who have mastered interpersonal

Details of these milestones are discussed in the next section.At the time, the doctor of engineering degree was offered through respective departments, similarto the offerings of the Master of Engineering degree and the Master of Science degree (thesis andnon-thesis options). A more unified curriculum approach was taken and program administrationwas moved to the college level. It now became the Doctor of Engineering in Engineering degree.Students choose technical electives in their chosen discipline to comprise the engineering creditsof the degree. Collaborations were also made with the business school to

The desktop set upincluded a joystick with an integrated throttle. The large screen out-of-window views weregenerated by three ultra-short-throw LCD projectors set up in a rear projection mode. The LCDprojectors were driven by three dedicated PCs which were slaved to a fourth PC that served as themaster. The Wideview [24] shareware was used to slave the out-of-the-window computers to themaster computer through the FSUIPC [25] shareware. The master PC also powered
