Session: 2632 Merging Theory and Implementation: A Framework for Teaching DSP Hardware Design Tyson S. Hall and David V. Anderson Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA 30332-0250 {tyson,dva}@ece.gatech.eduAbstractIn this paper, we present a framework for teaching DSP hardware design and provide thenecessary technical infrastructure for enabling this convergence of theory and implementa-tion. Even though many curricula include separate classes in both DSP theory and VHDLmodeling, there are few opportunities given to students to combine these two skills

ECE Department has required two semester-long courses in thefreshman curriculum to introduce its majors to their discipline. Initially, both of these courseswere wholly technical where the first course dealt with digital logic and the other with assembly 1language programming. In the early 1990’s the first course , ECE 101, was restructured toprovide a general introduction to electrical and computer engineering, including modules aimedat helping students make the transition from high school to college. Technical topics includeresistive circuits, RC circuits, the 555 timer, combinational logic, Karnaugh maps, sequentiallogic, DC motors and PWM control. These topics give the technical
Session Number: 2148 DESIGN PROJECTS and INDUSTRY ENGAGEMENT in a MECHANICAL ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY CURRICULUM R. L. Alan Jordan PE, Associate Professor, Dennis S. Schell, Patent Attorney Dept. of Mechanical Engineering Technology Purdue University Statewide Technology - Muncie, IN/ Baker & Daniels Indianapolis, INAbstract Design projects are encouraged and even required in most engineering
learners tothink more deeply about the components (e.g. converters and motors), circuits(controllers) and systems which they will design and specify.II - NEEDED CONTROLSIn the case of classroom presentation and demonstration software the controls areinstituted by the instructors and demonstrators usually in an ad-hoc fashion. However,when packages such as OATS [9] and our CD-ROM are produced, arrangements need tobe made to guide the learner(s), and to provide scaffolding, to provide for self-tests andto record and exhibit progress clearly so that the learner(s) can make wise choices of howmuch time and effort need to be spent to achieve their goals. In OATS we did this usingthe QUEST+(tm) authoring language as a scaffolding shell, but that

program unique in thisliberal arts setting. In this paper, we will discuss how and why engineering technology wasintroduced into this type of environment.The need of a new programDuring the early 1990’s, our faculty noticed that most graduates in physics, including some ofthe very best, were choosing to go to work immediately upon graduation, rather than continuingtheir education in graduate school. This was a significant departure from previous trends. Inresponse, the department adjusted the physics program and academic advisement so that studentsbound for industry upon graduation would have a strong foundation in both electronics and inoptics, two areas of application in which the department had strength in terms of facultyexpertise and
in any complex human system, such as education, there is muchvariation present, most of which cannot be controlled in any meaningful sense. Hence, we havetaken a design-based approach that can yield improvements that can be measured locally andaggregated over time, while at the same time giving us insight into how to be effective inimplementing change.References[1] Gattis, C., Hill, B., & Lachowsky, A.

Plagiarism isproblematic from an academic perspective for two commonly-cited reasons: (1) the student(s)who plagiarize neither develop associated writing skills nor learn the intended lesson content1,and (2) students within a class where other students are plagiarizing without knowledge of theinstructor may receive comparatively poor grades even though they are learning and developingthe intended skills.Prior to word processing and the Internet, plagiarism required considerable effort: students mustfirst locate a book, article or old report, then write or type the outside text.

Eachgraduating MS student has to submit and defend a thesis.A recipient of a Master's degree can follow one of two basic paths leading to a PhD degree. Oneway, typical for the 70's and 80's, but still frequently adopted, is to take a position of a teachingassistant or research assistant at a higher education institution or research institute and pursue - inparallel with routine teaching, research and administrative duties - research work in the selectedarea, under supervision of a senior member of academic or research staff. An alternative is topursue a program of study leading to a PhD degree
