He is an ASEE and ASME member.Timothy G. Southerton, RIT Mechanical Engineering Tim Southerton is currently a fifth year mechanical engineering student at RIT in the BS/MEng Dual Degree program. As a student who enjoyed the Stamp-based Robotics class as an undergraduate, he was very interested in an opportunity to restructure the curriculum for Arduino compatibility. Once involved in the project, he decided to see it through as the teaching assistant for the lab portion of the revamped course, which proved to be an enriching experience. After

-CyLE in the classroom. That is, we do not expectWReSTT-CyLE to replace existing learning management systems such as Moodle or Blackboardalready in use, or significantly change the content of the syllabus or the instructor’s teaching style.We recommend the following steps instructors may follow when using WReSTT-CyLE in theclassroom. We assume that the instructor is familiar with the learning content - DLOs and tutorialsavailable in WReSTT-CyLE. 1. Prior to the beginning of the semester request a course instance from the WReSTT-CyLE system administrator. 2. During the course setup perform the following: (a) Decide on the combination of LESs to use in the class (see Section 3.2) (b) Upload the class roll (c

. Page 14.808.2Semester research projects culminated in updating WikiBooks pages to share the students' new-found knowledge in a particular robotics topic. Students were encouraged to apply their semesterpractical projects to various Missouri S&T robotics competition entries such as the IEEERobotics Competition and the Intelligent Ground Vehicle Competition. Continuing in this open-source philosophy, all course documents, including lecture slides, reading material, sourcereferences and robot kit hardware and software were posted online. This enables the educationaland hobby community to contribute and develop the course-ware beyond the duration of classsessions, creating a 'living course' that continues to evolve and improve, increasing its

“effectively” published throughout the course Course syllabus Example problemsConfidential data provides the one area of concern with the usage of a cloud computing platform.The concerns purely rest with the manner in which the cloud contract is structured. In the eventthat an institution routinely uses contracted services and discloses this in their FERPA filing,then the usage of a cloud based service is acceptable.However, the lack of contracted services by a university does not completely preclude the usageof a cloud based system for data storage. For example, a grade book is only a concern if itcontains personally identifiable information. If a professor uses an

Assessment results from in-class clicker-based responses and online course exit surveys are presented to assess theeffectiveness of Tablet PC-based instruction. Problems encountered and plans for futureenhancements are also briefly discussed. A summary table showing Tablet PC related instructionactivities in various other academic programs is also presented.2.

course survey was very positive. Over 78% of thestudents in the course agreed or strongly agreed that the API was a means for learning conceptson the syllabus, 71% felt it provided a source of motivation or increased their interest level in theclass, and, for 71%, the API provided a sense of personal engagement on the assignments. TheAPI was also introduced into the introductory CEEN 1030 course taught by Roger Sash. In thiscourse, all CEEN students build a CEENBoT™ and take it with them for applications in follow-on courses. The CEENBoT™ API exposed these students to embedded system concepts andbasic C programming as students in this class had never taken a programming course, or wereconcurrently taking their first programming course in Java

period, and there are effectively 40 hours of lectures. About two-third of thetime is devoted to the recitations and the rest to applications and mini-projects. Students’prior knowledge of electromagnetics is limited to physics course, so our electromagneticsstarts from vector algebra and coordinate systems and encompasses the usual topics suchas electrostatics, magnetostatics, Maxwell’s equations, wave propagation, transmissionlines, and radiating systems. The course syllabus is outlined in the paper’s appendix. Thefollowing means of teaching have been adopted: MS Office PowerPoint, FEMLABsoftware, MATLAB, Maple and MathCAD packages, computer-based projects,simulation and virtual experiments, and computer assisted course management.3.

Center Figure 1: The Virtual Training Environment (VTE) system overview.2.2 – Simulation and Animation for Interactive EducationThe VTE system supports multiple sessions and classrooms. Each course needs to have its ownpackage of model components to be integrated into the syllabus. To facilitate describing thissection we us a pilot course like Data Communications and Networking as an example. When amessage is sent from point A to B, the simulated model can project animation of the flowbetween the two points. Depending which portion of the course is under focus, the details of thecommunication pattern are projected. For example, the routing mechanism in the network andthe congestion handling process when part of the network becomes
