Furthermore, sensor science helps preparestudents with a foundation of instrumentation technology for the measurement and control ofindustrial processes4. Despite the above efforts to produce a prevailing culture of sensingscience, the vast majority of engineering students very rarely have access to a large number ofreal-world sensors within the classrooms. A lack of effective ways to incorporate large-scalesensor data into engineering curricula retards students’ development of problem solving skills in Page 15.1059.2a real-world contexts.In this paper, we propose a new approach to

Once these spaces are built, class sessions are being conducted andthe students are surveyed. It should be noted at this point, that most of this section is based onresearch observation and will require further case analysis to validate site building trends andtendencies.The development of Web 3-D virtual world spaces for academic use presents unique challengesfor both academics and their students.

In addition,video-taped Electrical Power and Machines lab experiments had been used as a virtual substituteexperience for distance learning students, and it was concluded that the video-taped laboratory wasas effective as the traditional laboratory in attaining the desired course outcomes, while thestudents’ overall evaluation was very positive9.

pleasant setting. Virtual laboratories can be built with simulationtechniques to guide our students learning complex subjects. A major difficulty, however,concerns whether the simplicity may come at the expense of effectiveness of the learningsurroundings. One remedy to this problem suggests use of special equipments often used for e.g.pilot training. Another example includes use of digital gloves and head-mounted devices invirtual reality applications. Nevertheless, these equipments are expensive and often not availableto most students. In contrast, our solution suggests use of inexpensive tools like web-cameras asan interface to interact with the simulated objects in cyberspace, and WBS as a core buildingblock of the virtual laboratories.In this

Because of the in-class lab requirements(see next section), there needs to be recognition of the “laboratory” nature of the course.Traditionally, the Java and C++ course would be 2 hours of “lecture” and 3 hours of a separate“lab” to review programs. However, our course integrates the lecture and lab together since wehave computers in the classroom. Consequently there is a combined four hours of lecture/lab

After several years of experience with our original winDSK program for theTMS320C31 DSK, the new winDSK6 software package is greatly improved and more capable,and takes full advantage of the higher performance DSKs. The winDSK6 program is a WindowsVista/XP/2000 application that provides an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI), and ensuresthat the first experience with the DSK is a positive and motivating one. This software makes theDSK hardware much more accessible to new users, and facilitates easy-to-use, ready-made class-room and laboratory demonstrations.

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

The pseudo-code componentwas deemed important in order to quantify the student’s ability to transfer knowledge betweendomains. The key concepts included in the inventory were: goto’s, conditionals, loops, nestedstructures, variables, functions/arguments, and subroutines/subprograms.1.

The successful use of computer algebra systems does not implythat mathematical skills are no longer at a premium: such skills are important as ever.However, computer algebra systems may remove the need for those poorly understoodmathematical techniques which are practiced and taught simply because they serve asuseful tools. The usefulness of this approach will be evaluated by direct observation andformative assessment, and feedback from other educators will be highly appreciated.1.
