This can be accomplished throughthe inclusion of exercises on this platform in graduate and undergraduate courses offered as partof the electrical and computer engineering (ECE) curriculum. Graduate ECE courses, such asimage processing, neural networks, and embedded system design would be choices for projectactivities on this platform. Typical courses in the undergraduate ECE program are digital logicdesign and programming in C/C++/Python.

When used as a classroom or laboratory demonstration, orlaboratory/project assignment, this experiment illustrates the following to the student: 1. Determination of the impact force-time record using Newton’s law. 2. Evacuation of the displacement-time record by double integration of the acceleration and enforcing proper initial conditions. 3. Technique and advantages of smoothing the experimental data. 4. Convenience of spreadsheet software to process and analyze the raw data, and to plot the results. 5.
