paper thereby serves as an innovative way to expose technology students to this difficult topic and gives them a fresh taste of Python programming while having fun learning the Discrete and Fast Fourier Transforms.  1. Background  Engineering departments are often confronted with the necessity to update laboratory exercises and equipment with the latest emerging technological trends within tight budget constraints. Another challenge faced by departments pertains to satisfying the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission (ETAC) criteria for capstone senior project experience within the curriculum. In this paper we will explain how we attempted to solve these challenges by exposing students to new emerging

software testing techniques. This preparationshould increase the students’ chances of success in both creating testable requirements for theirapplications as well as creating adequate test cases.CS/CMP 403 – Senior Problem This is capstone course of Computer Science at AAMU and a continuation of CS/CMP401 (software engineering). During this course, the student is expected to code a single,meaningful project started earlier in CS/CMP 401 and present the results of this project in class.This project must meet a set of standards for software design and documentation. Topics ofprofessional ethics and responsibilities are discussed in the class. Software-testing techniquesmust be used in this course on the selected project to ensure the quality

and relay them over a medium-range(100 m) wireless network to a PDA8. Interactions between sensor networks and humans arealready judged controversial.Many Capstone and Senior projects by students are being done in this area. One recent exampleis ‘Outlet Power Monitoring Using Wireless Sensor Networks’9.The need for increased power monitoring in residential and commercial units is becomingincreasingly self-evident by the ongoing shortage of natural resources and rising costs ofelectricity. This need has been supported by recent government and private policies towardsreducing power consumption and better power monitoring. This system is one that implementsthese features by taking advantage of several new technologies, including energy

fundamentals of analog and digital wireless communications. Includes baseband and bandpass, analog and digital signaling techniques along with appropriate mathematical background in Fourier transforms, probability and random variables. Introduces both software and hardware designs.19. ECE 4800 Computer Engineering Senior Design Project Prerequisite: ECE 3740 Description: Serves as a project-oriented capstone course for computer engineering majors. Emphasizes major hardware and software design. Includes identification and completion of a suitable design project to be mutually selected by the faculty supervisor and student. Requires weekly written and oral presentations as well as a final written project report and an oral

. Interdisciplinary Capstone Projects As indicated in previous sections, all faculty members think that being able to work in ateam is crucial for success in the workplace. In addition to teamwork, three faculty membershighlighted the importance of providing experience with working in interdisciplinary teams andprojects in undergraduate courses, since the problems they face in the real world are no longerlimited to individual disciplines, and it is less and less frequent that all members of a team comefrom the same background or play the same role. As one faculty member said: 14Formal Education and Computing Professionals’ Needs We should be doing

forum. We refer to thissequence of tasks as research workflow. The above tasks also arise in independent study andwriting-intensive courses, research methods courses,31 and capstone projects.26 New graduatestudents also experience difficulties in productive engagement with research as they lackexperience with the research workflow tasks.Given this backdrop, the overarching goal of this paper is to illustrate how various open sourcetools can be used to help with various activities in the research workflow except tasks 4, 5, and 7.More specifically, we discuss how we and our students have used them in our own research.These open source tools are based on advances in machine learning, information retrieval, andsearch engine technologies.The

, graphic arts, politics, music, and computer technology have always been Preston Jay Mendoza’s main interests. His undergraduate years have been a long filtration of those many interests, which ulti- mately led him to enroll in the Computer Information Systems program at National University. From this program, he further enhanced his business and computer skills in project management and data manage- ment systems. These skills were used to develop the capstone project, which includes the corresponding paper. Page 25.865.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2012
