Computer Engineering Capstone Projects in the Computer Science DepartmentAbstractAs with many computer science and engineering programs, students of the computer engineeringarea of specialization in the computer science program at Utah Valley University (UVU)conclude their degree programs with a semester capstone design experience. The intent is forstudents to utilize competencies developed in the first three years of the curriculum in thesolution of an embedded design problem. This paper presents the details of sample projects thatthe students have done in this capstone course.Background InformationUtah Valley University (UVU) is a state institution with more than 32,000 students.

(WSNs) are possibly one of the most important technologies of thiscentury and have the potential to make human life more comfortable. WSNs have emerged as aneffective solution applied to a wide array of problems. The increasing popularity of WSN hasmotivated computer engineering programs to provide students with a foundation in the area. Inorder to integrate wireless sensor networks concepts into our computer engineering curriculum,we have decided to integrate wireless sensor concepts in our Embedded Systems Design IIcourse. A requirement for this course is to write a research paper on the topic of Wireless SensorNetworks. As a result of this assignment, many students have started to do their senior designproject on this subject. This paper

physiological functions in a hospital setting. Sensors today are effective for single measurements, however, are not integrated into a “complete body area network”, where many sensors are working simultaneously on an individual patient. Mobility is desired, but in many cases sensors have not yet become wireless. This creates the need for the implementation of new biomedical personal wireless networks with a common architecture and the capacity to handle multiple sensors, monitoring different body signals, with different requirements. The type and number of sensors must be configured according to monitoring needs related to different diseases, treatment, and the patient treatment life cycle12. WMSNs systems have several advantages over traditional wired

The results of this acknowledgement lead to research efforts wheremechanisms were trying to retrofit legacy systems. However, retrofitting legacy systems doesnot provide a long term solution to the problem[14].The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the approaches taken in higher education to address theproblem facing SCADA security. The first section describes how higher education currentlyhandles security in regards to SCADA/ICS environments. The second section discusses areas offocus pertaining to different disciplines. The third section discusses tools that can be used toexpose students to SCADA

Othershave argued for game-based projects, and some have integrated gaming throughout theircomputing curriculum [15, 16]. Alternatively, some educators have introduced hardware into theclassroom. For example, Mahmoud uses mobile devices extensively through many computingcourses, enabling students to work with their own, personal devices [17]. Others have attemptedusing robotics in their curriculum, but have experienced varying results in student success [18].Overall, it is apparent that many educators are concerned with the current state of computingeducation, and are

. Semantic “dissonance”, in the forms of synonymy and polysemy, is frequentlyencountered between participants in related meetings and discussions.Unfortunately the topic of semantic miscommunication is usually not broached until it causes aproject meltdown. This laissez-faire approach can be compared to an information securitymanager ignoring potential virus threats until a machine is already infected.Taking a more practical stance towards the problem, we developed the Termediator software topre-emptively identify potential term dissonance. Termediator has evolved since 2010 from asimple term browser to a multifaceted tool; in its current state it integrates similarity measures insynonymy with topic modeling and clustering in polysemy.The

Apiece of data enters the system directly from the data source, or a shipper, from which point it isplaced in a broker. The indexer pulls the data from the broker, and the data is parsed and placedinto the searchable storage. The interface then accesses the storage through API calls. Thissame basic concept is used by most data mining implementations.Let us begin with our data sources. Data sources can be anything that produces text-basedevents.

looming deadlines draw near. In 1989 while at the Software EngineeringInstitute of Carnegie Mellon University, Watts Humphrey introduced the notion of the CapabilityMaturity Model to describe the state that existed in software development organizations. Itincludes the concepts of “levels” of maturity and “key process areas.” Many organizations haveadopted this model now referred to as CMMI (Capability Maturity Model Integration) and usedit to guide their maturation process. It is a framework that allows an appropriate, matureapproach to software development to become part of the organization’s culture.

Fourier Transforms are extensively used in engineering and science in a vast and wide variety of fields including concentrations in acoustics, digital signal processing, image processing, geophysical processing, wavelet theory, and optics and astronomy. The Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) is an essential digital signal processing tool that is highly desirable if the integral form of the Fourier Transform cannot be expressed as a mathematical equation
