Introducing Multiple Soft Processor Cores Using FPGAs into the Computer Engineering CurriculumAbstractSoft processor cores are becoming an important component in state-of-the-art Systems-on-a-Programmable-Chip (SoPC) implementations. An SoPC design is a complete electronic systemthat is built on a reconfigurable integrated circuit, usually in the form of a Field ProgrammableGate Array (FPGA). This paper will discuss the introduction of soft processor design into thecourses within the Computer Engineering curriculum at the University of Texas at Tyler.Laboratories that utilize soft processor core design in our FPGA Design course and designsconsisting of an array of soft processor cores to emulate multiprocessor designs in our

While exemplary case studies of mobilestudio platform usage in single courses or course sequences can be found in the literature, thiswork documents a proposal to design a new Electrical Engineering curriculum that utilizes acommon mobile studio platform throughout all years of the curriculum, across many courses.This paper is organized as follows: Section II summarizes the current state of the literature onmobile studio pedagogy; Section III examines the proposed curriculum integration of a mobilestudio lab instrumentation; Section IV presents

Future assessment results will be analyzedto further investigate the impacts that these improvements have had on student learning.ConclusionThe redevelopment of the PLC training units satisfied the objectives identified. First, the newunits allow for an open and reliable platform for the students to develop integrated hardware.Secondly, the lab sequence was redesigned to limit the scope of the course and increase the depthof the

During winter semester students practice the conceptslearned during these earlier core courses by constructing an advanced laser-tag system(alternatively referred to as the junior project). Laser-tag is an excellent target because it providesan engaging way to integrate the concepts and practices from very different areas of electrical andcomputer engineering.The goals of this PBL curriculum are to: 1) increase student confidence, 2) provide students witha fun engineering experience, 3) provide opportunities for application of concepts from priorjunior courses 2 , and 4) administer the PBL curriculum so that, in the long term, TA and

. With the world becoming “flat” due to globalization,increasingly, jobs requiring basic technical skills are moving outside of the U.S. by companies toreduce cost. Engineering graduates from the U.S. must bring added value and higher-level skillsincluding innovation, a problem solving approach, and leadership to garner higher salary jobs inU.S. companies. The call from various technical reports on engineering education is for U.S.higher education institutions to produce this kind of engineer. Accordingly, there is an urgentneed for reforming and enhancing engineering curriculum to address these needs. This NSFfunded BME focused urban ERC intends to meet these globally focused education needs throughits educational efforts in curricular reform

As a result, improper instructional approaches to complex concepts such as ACcircuits causes deep rooted misconceptions when students attempt to assimilate the newknowledge of AC circuits with their current DC circuits framework. In order to increase studentsunderstanding of AC concepts, a new approach to instruction and course delivery is required inwhich AC circuits are taught as an entirely new concept while appealing to students’ inductiveand deductive reasoning ability.Model for curriculum redesignThis five step model being suggested for the use of redesigning the curriculum to increasestudents’ understanding and retention of AC circuit

/repositories.Introduction—Educational Research Using LabsLaboratory projects can be strategically used to improve the Electrical and ComputerEngineering (ECE) curriculum across all four years, according to National Science Foundation(NSF) research done by Chu [1]. The aim is to enhance student learning and better preparegraduates for new challenges. Chu’s viewpoint is that a good engineer must not only becomeknowledgeable in certain content areas (components, learned in individual courses), but also beable to apply and integrate that content to solve complex, real-world problems.Motivation for Chu’s work came from an earlier 5-year study of engineering education [2].
