This paper presents an experimental evaluation of the utility ofusing auditory cues to train temporal tasks (e.g., pace setting) in virtual training systems. Therewere four different auditory cues used for training pace: 1) a metronome, 2) non-spatial auditoryearcons, 3) a spatialized auditory earcon, and 4) no audio. Sixty-eight people participated in thestudy. A pre- post between subjects’ experimental design was used, with eight training trials.The measure used for assessing pace performance was the average deviation from apredetermined desired pace. The results demonstrated that

Candidates are alsoadvised to keep a record of activities to ensure nothing is missed in their portfolios.3PurposeDuring graduate school, I attended workshops for future faculty and compiled a reading list fornew faculty.

Acost comparison of these two alternatives is given in Table 1. It was found that the industrial-type equipment was $911.05 less per bench than the educational-type equipment. These valueswere based on the initial quotes, and with additional educational discounts directly from FlukeCorporation the final cost was $5,947.30 per bench.In addition to costing significantly less, the industrial-type equipment also has a number ofadditional features not available on the educational-type equipment.

These IR and visible images were used as the basis for an open- ended final project in the course. Assessment via both pre- and post-project questionnaires showed the project was a positive experience for the students, and helped motivate them to learn the material. This paper discusses the course, the camera, the project, and how effective it was to add this project to the course.1 IntroductionDigital signal processing (DSP), and the closely related area of digital image processing (DIP),have become very popular courses for engineering students.

), and assummarized in numerous, readily available sources, Nightingale’s environmental theoryrepresents the first grand theory of the modern practice of nursing (see: www.nursing-theory.org). The theory includes seven assumptions that focus the nurse on taking care ofthe patient’s environment in order to achieve wellness and cure illness, namely: 1. Natural laws; 2. Mankind can achieve perfection; 3. Nursing is a calling; 4. Nursing is an art and a science; 5. Nursing is achieved through environmental alteration; 6. Nursing requires a specific educational base; and 7. Nursing is distinct and separate from medicine.The ten environmental factors described by Nightingale include: ventilation andwarming; light and noise

With the development of Computer-aided design (CAD) software, many institutes and professors consider CAD as primarycourse content in engineering graphics. However, most engineering design graphicseducators still agree that the most important topic in engineering design graphicscurriculum is the improvement of students' visualization skills [3].

, there are challenges to this approach, not the least of which is the relatively short timestudents have to learn and apply a new programming language. As with most instructionalchallenges, finding the right approach for the situation is more desirable than attempting tobalance between extreme options (leaving students to learn on their own versus providing acomplete tutorial on VBA programming). Our intent here is to introduce the approach taken forthis course in order to highlight those aspects we believe are most critical to success.InstructionOverviewThe project begins during the first week of class and concludes during the last meeting.

oflearning by using visuals to teach concepts. However, by the time students reach middle school,these visuals are minimized or altogether discarded in favor of a canon that sublimates printliteracy to a grand, almost mythological status. In this context, language is objectified—devoidof perception or imagery and stripped down to an entity that can assist the human brain inmemorization and reasoning yet lacks visual data to fully aid the brain in observation,comprehension, and interpretation. According to Harvey J. Graff [1], educators perpetuate the misconception that, as otherforms of visual media—Facebook, Youtube, Instagram, film, TV—increase in presence,illiteracy also increases.

ExampleThis example considers a Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filter. The notion of the well-knownFIR filter is summarized by the block diagram in Figure 1, and maps neatly to linear algebra.Here, impulse response values are in an array h. With element numbering starting at one, the firstimpulse response value is in h(1). Each trapezoid weighs a sample value in v by a correspondingvalue in h. Figure 1: Block diagram of FIR filterAt each sample period the values in v are shifted to the right and the most recently received valuex is stored into v(1). The output y is the dot-product of v and h. In teaching discrete time signalprocessing, this a simple way to introduce convolution. Consider that with x being a unitimpulse

With constant budget cuts, larger enrollment and, therefore, largerclass sizes, active learning becomes more difficult for instructors to implement effectively, if atall.
