Out of the contents listed above, the students find the understanding ofthe vector space and fields the most difficult, let alone connecting the theories with the realengineering practice and phenomenon. So the first step to improve the course will be helping thestudents to develop the skills to “see” the abstract vector electric and magnetic fields, and beable to use some field simulation software, and work on hands-on projects in the area oftransmission-line, wave-guiding structures, and antenna radiation. In this way, the engineeringstudents will have the basic understanding of the important and recent EM

It is used toaddress the challenges associated with modeling, analysis, design, implementation, testing andoptimization of multi-domain motion control systems2,3,4. The approach is generallyimplemented using an integrated software environment that is interfaced with the external worldthrough data-acquisition systems. In this project, Matlab and Simulink are used for modeling andsimulation of multi-domain systems, including electrical, mechanical, and many others, as wellas for signal processing, parameter estimation, control design, optimization, and real-timeembedded programming.

Our first objective was to findmore agile and sustainable processes to develop and continuously improve engineeringcurriculum. The second objective was to improve our pedagogical methods to make theclassroom learning experience more engaging [1]. The third objective was to develop a newlearning experience for our students that produced measurably better learning outcomes.An essential idiom that emerged from student, faculty, industry, and professional surveys was thewidespread use of agile methodologies.

Evaluation of IEEE 802.15.4 for Use in Smart Home Medical CareAbstractThe IEEE 802.15.4 wireless standard has been identified as a potential candidate to be used insmart home medical care. This undergraduate research project evaluates the performance ofIEEE 802.15.4 under interference from other wireless devices that operate in the same frequencyband. Specifically, we focus on two very common wireless interfering systems in typical homeenvironments: IEEE 802.11 WLANs and microwave ovens. The measurement results give arough indication about the mutual interference of different systems and showcase the challengesof utilizing IEEE 802.15.4 for smart home medical applications.1.

Since freshmen do not have the math background of our juniors we view theFourier transform as a correlation between an input signal and a complex sinusoid. MATLAB®allows for easy manipulation of difference equations, the z-transform need not be mentioned, andthe course has no time for theorems or proofs.Sound files present an easy way to introduce real data into the course and all students are able tosee the frequency spectrum of sounds in their environment.

The images are then readily manipulated within Simulink in order toachieve a much more sophisticated signal processing or control design than was previouslypossible in a classroom environment. In particular, the paper describes a new ’VU-Kinect’ blockwhich makes Kinect depth and camera images easily accessible to users in the Simulinkenvironment. It should be noted, however, that since the start of this project, other similarSimulink-based solutions have also become available, [13-15].

Using best practices in engineering education, the course transitioned from a lecturemodel to a project-based learning model that includes three blocks over a forty-lesson semester:block 1, introductory topics; block 2, robotics design and implementation; and block 3, mazecompetition. Each laboratory includes a brief fifteen-minute introduction to a fundamentalelectrical and computer engineering concept and 3.5-hours of hands-on application. For example,after learning how the average power of a system can be controlled via pulse-width modulation,students integrate motors into the robot and connect each motor to a modern measurement tool toobserve the
