AC 2008-720: DITCHING DIGITAL: THE BUILDING OF PHYSICALMINIATURESDavid Cowan, Indiana University-Purdue University-Indianapolis Page 13.445.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2008 Ditching Digital: The Building of Physical MiniaturesAbstract Scaled models are often used by architects and engineers to study thestructural behavior of buildings or the reaction of buildings subject to naturalforces such as wind or fire. Currently these models tend to be created through theuse of sophisticated 3D software to acquire the accuracy that is demanded inengineering computations. Similarly, computer generated 3D models are alsooften used to study architectural

A Software Package for Enhanced Student-Learning in Real- Time Embedded-Systems NetworkingAbstractToday, embedded systems networking is common in manufacturing, automobiles, medicalequipment, and home appliances, but few undergraduate engineering and technology curriculateach courses devoted to it. Not having appropriate educational experiences risks a decline in UStechnical expertise. Various companies have developed commercial software packages foranalysis, diagnosis and simulation of real-time embedded-systems networking protocols.However, these commercial software packages are very expensive and complex to be used forundergraduate courses. We have developed a user-friendly and easy-to-use software
