Design (Altera FPGAs and ARM Cortex-A processors)Recently, there has been a growing interest for various teaching approaches for embeddedsystems education. Kumar, et al. [8] taught students how to use the Xilinx Spartan-3E board todevelop a five-a-side soccer game system. Several papers used video games as a teaching tool forembedded system education with FPGAs. One of the earliest papers by Jamieson used a ‘StarTrek’ game framework in the classroom [2]. FPGAs were used in the computer architectureclasses [3]. Use of FPGAs for computer gaming applications has been one of good tools tointroduce students to digital designs [1], [4] – [7]. The Basys-3 FPGAs board has a 12-bit VGAoutput, a USB HID host for mice, keyboard, and memory stick. These

However, researchers have indicated that there areseveral knowledge deficiencies [1] in the learning outcomes of the students who are graduatingfrom Computer science and software engineering courses such that those students are unable tomeet the expectations of the industry. This result can be traced back to lack of understanding offundamental programming concepts leading to development of poorly developed software. Partof this may be a result of students and instructors lack access to vetted learning content onprogramming concepts leading to high dropout rates in introductory programming courses [8].While there can be numerous factors that

Blynk has an Arduino library thatprovides an interface to the Blynk server. The student must create code to interface between theArduino Input Output (IO) and the libraries. The Arduino is connected to the Blynk server viathe USB programming interface. The student then down loads the Blynk app to his/her phone.Once the Blynk app is configured the student can communicate wirelessly between the phoneand the Arduino. Based on random observation the student’s response is typically “cool”.The Blynk software and app are free. There is enough “energy” (credit) included with the appdownload

Education, 2018 Weekly Programs in a CS 1 Class: Experiences with Auto-Graded Many-Small Programs (MSP)AbstractWe describe an experiment in changing a CS 1 introductory programming course from thetraditional one large programming assignment per week to seven small assignments per week:“many-small programs” (MSPs). The change was enabled by a program auto-grader that allowedeasy creation of each new assignment in only about 30 minutes, and that gave studentsimmediate score feedback. Students could earn up to 10 points per assignment, and we defined50 out of 70 possible points as full program credit for the week (no extra credit). With that setup,we allowed collaboration. The change was made for one of three class sections

These children have parents who file for a conscientious exemption to vaccines orare more colloquially known “anti-vaxxers.” [2]. While this figure only represents 1.07% of thestudent body of Texas, a closer analysis shows the heterogenous composition of unvaccinatedstudents in schools.

learners access toeducational experiences that typically have been limited by the need to be present in a physicalclassroom. However, MOOC virtual environments presents unique challenges for bothinstructors and learners. One of these challenges is the lack of face-to-face interaction, whichaffects how learners engage with one another and with the instruction team. From aconstructivist perspective, this is problematic because social interaction and communication arevital to meaningful learning [1]. Communication is also necessary for instructors to answerquestions, clarify concepts, and guide learners through their knowledge construction.In order to facilitate social interaction and communication, MOOCs often use discussion forumswhere learners can

As an example, UTRGV computer science curriculum has CSCI 1170Engineering Computer Science I Laboratory as a separate course to complement CSCI 1370Engineering Computer Science I. The two courses are usually taught by different instructors, andessentially are two separate courses with no interactivity between the two. This approach becomesexpensive in terms of the total number of hours required to complete a degree if one complementseach course with its lab course. Another traditional approach is to increase the number of hours of certain selected

Asan example, if the instructor only wishes to ensure that a section of 16 students ispartitioned into 4 teams of equal size and with each team having maximally homogeneousstudent majors, then the instructor can quickly find sets of 4 students that have the samemajor, followed by sets of 4 students with 2 majors represented, etc. On the other hand,this optimization problem quickly gets to be

The uncertainties ingeotechnical engineering are largely inductive: starting from limited observations,judgment, knowledge of geology, and statistical reasoning are employed to infer thebehavior of a poorly defined universe [1]. The pioneers like Casagrande [2] and Peck [3]started dealing with uncertainties in geological materials using the observational method.In this method, engineers make reasonable estimates of the parameters and the amountsby which they could deviate from the expected values.

In the future,we hope that this will lead to improved learning, which will improve students’ mastery of thematerial and problem-solving abilities.1. Introduction:Office hours are a common feature of many university courses. A traditional model for hostingoffice hours involves a student showing up to a specific location, asking the instructor one ormore questions, and then leaving office hours. It is common for some larger courses to hold“group office hours”, where the instructor would generally answer questions in a group setting.While both of these
