conditions, a digital trainerwould be used. Most digital trainers provide only a clock waveform, a certain number of switches to supplysteady logic levels and perhaps a push-button switch as inputs to a test circuit, To record the output(s) of thetest circuit, LED’s are provided. While this is adequate for combinational logic circuits it is a poor substitutefor studying sequential logic circuits and provides no permanent record. It was desired to have a extremely user-friendly, programmable, logic-level signal generator withseveral outputs and the ability to simultaneously record several digital signals. It was also desired to keep thissystem inexpensive and to have a permanent record of test circuit input/outputs signals.SOLUTION Our
faculty members, stated that we could arc weld the cast iron. I venturedto s~fiat I thought that was supposed to be impossible, particularly for old dirty and rusted material. He saidhe had heard that too, but not until after he had been doing it for about 15 years. I remember very distinctly the problems I had as a freshman student at Purdue in trying to weld cast iron.We were admonished in class that welding of cast iron with freshly ground abutting surfaces was possible, butdifficult, and that welding of broken parts with rusted sutiaces was impossible. That was the technology of the1950’s. By the 1970’s, I was using eutectic filler rod to successfidly braze cast iron for repairs, but I had no ideawhether there were improvements beyond
that met the needs of thecustomer and were able to complete in the six to eight week time frame given, and delivered onall of the planned objectives.One of the projects failed to meet almost all of the stated objectives through the duration of theproject. This project proved to be the most difficult to administer through the semester. Thisproject, proposed by an individual student, was to design an on-line study guide for the class. Itwas originally proposed that this student would put quiz questions, exam questions, and notesfrom both lecture and the text on the Web for students to use as a study guide. This project, asstated, would meet the guidelines for the project. However, the student s accomplishments wereas follows:& Identify the

I believe that learning about these areas of business would help shape U.D.’s students into better managers and engineers. If there is anything I can do to help (i.e. focus groups, surveys, general input, etc.) please feel free to contact me. I have wanted our department to offer these classes or cover this material for some time. I am always happy to help with improving our department. …even though I am getting my dual degree in manufacturing, I will more than likely be looking at government, logistics, hospitals and banks.

Blackboard is the existing LMS in use; however, Canvas iscurrently undergoing a trial on campus. Three students in undergraduate courses onQuality and Human Factors worked with their course instructors and members of thecampus educational technology department to evaluate the two learning managementsystems. This project was part of their undergraduate research. The goal of theresearch was to collect user data, analyze performance, and develop conclusionsregarding the two LMS for the campus.

process and the actual capstone course(s) can occur in many forms [20].Some universities have an initial course in design methods [1, 26, 11, 27], followed by either aone or two semester capstone course. Integration of the instruction in design methods orprocesses could also occur in the one or two semester capstone experience [28]. Although manycurriculums have some small design content inserted into their early major’s courses, thecapstone experience may be the first time that students have been exposed to a formal, completedesign process.If the capstone project is the students’ first experience with implementation of the formal designprocess, students are likely to have difficulty understanding the motivation behind the designprocess [17
those who are simply prohibited from the use ofcomputers in the classroom.IntroductionInternet usage in the educational arena has grown enormously over the past three decades.Back in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s, burgeoning Intranets were popping up oncollege campuses. Internet accessibility outside of the classroom and in dormitories, etc.soon followed. Today, access to WiFi is something college campuses must have as theyare “graded on” it in many cases: the more Internet availability and better student access,the better the grades.2,3 Given the expansion of Internet accessibility and usage ofelectronic wireless devices, the natural progression is the use of such technology in theenhancement of education over those same decades.In the

Consumerproducts that depend on deep learning, products like Amazon’s Alexa and Google Home, are thetip of a new wave of innovation that will change the way consumers interact with products.Scientists and engineers with expertise in deep learning are already in short supply.Deep learning is based on an old technology — neural networks. In fact, some argue that deeplearning is simply a re-branding of neural networks, a technology that has been through several“hype-cycles 3 .” Neural networks date to as far back as the 1940’s and 1950’s. In 1957, FrankRosenblatt introduced the Perceptron, the forerunner of today’s modern neural networks. What isnew today is the availability of big data sets to train large and deep neural networks and theavailability of the

The field of data analytics has received substantial attentionin the past years due in part to the competition level in a globalized economy, which has resultedin the almost imperative need for focused or personalized services, thus resulting in this globaltrend of collecting
