Sometimes, the physical systems are often transformed to cyber-physicalsystems (CPSs) by interfacing modules in physical systems to cyber system. It is often challenging for undergraduate students toimplement a CPS comprising of analog and digital hardware and software within

working professionals from each of computer engineering, computerscience, and electrical engineering. The judges are asked to visit each project alone so they arenot biased by each other’s questions and/or opinions. Projects are then reviewed one-on-one bythe working professionals. It is expected that the judges ask the students hard questions abouttheir projects and dive into the details as much as possible within a 20 minute timeframe. Eachworking professional completes a rubric for each project after visiting the student(s).At the end of the day, the department chair and program directors meet with the workingprofessionals for a wrap-up session.

digital pinscan be used for various output modulation schemes (e.g. Pulse-Width Modulation, PWM)and as a logic analyzer; in addition to simple control and monitoring applications.Analog InputAt the heart of the analog input system is a 1MS/s, 12-bit analog-to-digital converter. TheADC is multiplexed to 12 channels, seven of which are available to the user via a screwterminal mounted on the board. Channels 3 through 7 are able to read voltages between 0and positive 2.5V. Channels 1 and 2 are enhanced in order to more closely match acommercial oscilloscope’s input capabilities (though any analog channel can be used inoscilloscope mode). The input range is -10V to +10V on these two channels, which isachieved via a digitally-adjustable front end gain

 Engineering Education  This paper attempts to quantify the hiring pattern in the field of EE/CS at the top 10 electricalengineering research programs in the United States. This is important as people who have trainedat great length and expense to be researchers confront a swindling number of academic jobs5. In1974, fewer than 30% of all science and engineering (S&E) Ph.D.s were working in industry,and more than 45% were in tenure-track faculty positions. By 1999, the trend had reversed withnearly 38% S&E Ph.D.s who had received their training in the United States were working in industry, whereas about 25% were working in a tenure‐track position in academe5.  MethodologyColleges and universities now customarily provide information about their

IPnetworks each month in 2016 1. The growing demands for bandwidth and capacity requirecontinuous upgrades in the optical communication network: the faster network speed (40Gb/s 100Gb/s  400Gb/s) and expanded network topologies (Long haul, Metropolitan, Access, Fiberto the Home). From the educational institutes’ standpoint, we must make sure that our graduateshave the knowledge and practical training to support the on-going changes. In response to these demands, the School of Engineering at Grand Valley State Universitydeveloped a three-credit senior elective course EGR458 “Introduction to Fiber Optics” in 2009 2.For the first two offerings, short active-learning exercises were supplemented for the lecture.Feedback from students showed that

pN-3 … p0. The digital DDFSuses the MSB (i.e., pN-1) as the square wave output. One interpretation is to treat the pN-1 bit as asignal that divides the output period into two equal parts (i.e., two equal phases). The values of 0and 1 are assigned to the two phases, respectively. It is possible to assign multi-bit values, suchas 2 and 7, for the amplitude, and the output wave will oscillate between 2 and 7 instead. Similarly, if two MSBs (i.e., pN-1 pN-2) are considered, the same period is divided into fourphases. Different values can be assigned to the four phases. The same concept can be extendedto S MSBs, which leads to 2S phases in a period. A phase-to-amplitude lookup table with 2Sentries can be created to define the shape of the

The mobile node then furtherestimates its distance from the fixed node based on the RSS of the signature signal to ultimatelybe able to pin-point its location in the polar coordinates where the fixed node is assumed to be atthe origin.
