Dr. Exter’s research aims to provide recommendations to improve or enhance university-level design and technology programs (such as Instructional Design, Computer Science, and Engineering). Some of her previous research has focused on software designers’ formal and non-formal educational experiences and use of precedent materials, and experienced instructional designers’ beliefs about design character. These studies have highlighted the importance of cross-disciplinary skills and student engagement in large-scale, real-world projects. Dr. Exter currently leads an effort to evaluate a new multidisciplinary degree program which provides both liberal arts and

For example, body sensor networks can be formed by placing low-power wirelessdevices on or around the body, enabling long-term monitoring of physiological signs.1 Thecollected data can be passed onto the Internet through a PDA, a cell-phone, or a home computer.The caregivers thus have remote access to the patient’s health status. If the physical activities ofpatients can be monitored reliably at home and at a low cost, it will have a tremendous effect onreducing the gap between the need and the capability of the current health care systems.Among the available wireless standards, IEEE 802.15.4 is especially

It could also beseen that the students’ interests in the course were improved.However, further analyses would be required to confirm the effectiveness, since the new kit wasused in 2007 for the first time and only one term’s data was available.7.
