devising customhardware on the FPGA to implement the parallel adder tree and interfacing it with the “Slave”processor. This research leveraged YG’s previous work on designing wide-bit adders on FPGAsand meshed nicely with her current interests in multimedia processing.

High-level view of the MPEG-4 Encoding Engine.10The third project involves ongoing research with the biology department in modeling a redimported fire ant (RIFA) colony. There is an urgent need to find an efficient, yetenvironmentally-friendly method to eradicate the RIFA colonies. These ants, imported fromSouth America in the 1930’s, are a major pest in the southern parts of the United States

at theirmeasurement data and noticed that all these students measured the feedback loop many timescompared to their peers. For example, student 11’s final six measurements were clicking back andforth between the two breadboard rows on either side of the loose feedback wire. This makes sense,since from the picture presented, the circuit is wired correctly, and the voltage difference betweenthese points is surprising. Many feedback measurements strongly indicate that the student noticedsomething was wrong in this region, but it is not sufficient to indicate that they understood the rootcause of the issue: 5 students measured the feedback loop at least 4 times without writing thecorrect cause in the follow-up questions. Since students are so

The basic method is that that two programmers worktogether on a piece of code on the same workstation or terminal with one acting as the "driver".This "driver" actually types and inputs all the code, while the other programmer watches andoffers advice both methodically and in syntax correction. After an amount of time the twoprogrammers switch

Additionally, students are able to develop a deeperand broader understanding of the field of electrical and computer engineering at an earlier stage.Consequently, they are able to make better-informed decisions when choosing majors and arepotentially less likely to change majors at a later date.Bibliography1.

There is also a need todevelop books with a case-study approach with adequate design examples.1.0 IntroductionThe Oxford Dictionary defines “Engineering” as the practical application of scientific ideas andprinciples. Further an “Engineer” is defined to design and build. Over the years many disciplinesof engineering have come into existence and newer ones continue to evolve in order to addresssocietal needs.

Basically, a project in ECE8803 will be cut intoseveral small projects for MA4533/6533.

advisable to stock upon enough parts to allow time for a transition should it be necessary.Before The BitBoard, we were using IDL-800 Digital Lab instruments to support the gate-levelexperiments and the DE1 for the FPGA experiments. The IDL-800’s had served us well formany years but were showing wear and tear. Replacement costs for the IDL-800’s exceed $400per unit. So finding a lower cost option was one motivation for developing The BitBoard whichcost about $60 each for parts and assembly.Another motivation was to develop a take-home lab kit enabling students to work on theirexperiments and projects at home and at their convenience. Previously, students were given anIDL-800 solderless breadboard to take home for wiring circuits prior to coming to
